Description: Federico Santangelo turns again to a topic on which he has written extensively and, taking a cue from Spencer Cole’s work, explores the “improvisational quality” of Cicero’s use of providentia, prudentia, and related terms across the corpus. Context and argument shape the meaning of specific appearances of the words, but in every case, Cicero takes part in a long-lived debate about the relationship between divine providence and human foresight, which engages a past, a present, and a future that cannot be dissociated from one another [Celia Schultz, BMCR 2020.11.04].
