Description: The essays collected in this volume deal with Cicero's knowledge of Peripatetic philosophy. They ask such questions as: Did Cicero-know Aristotle first hand, or was the corpus Aristotelicum unavailable to him and his contemporaries? Did Cicero have access to the writings of Theophrastus, and in general did he know the post-Aristotelians whose works are all but lost to us? When Cicero reports the views of early philosophers, is he a reliable witness, and is he conveying important information? These and other fundamental questions are asked with special reference to traditional areas of Greek thought: logic and rhetoric, politics and ethics, physics, psychology, and theology. The answers are various, but the overall impression is clear: Cicero himself was a highly intelligent, well educated Roman, whose treatises contain significant material. Scholars working on Peripatetic thought and on the Hellenistic period as a whole cannot afford to ignore them [Editor] TOCS : 1. Beobachtungen zu Ciceros philosophischem Standpunkt, 2. Aristotle and Theophrastus Conjoined in the Writings of Cicero, 3. Cicero’s Knowledge of the Rhetorical Treatises of Aristotle, and Theophrastus, 4. Cicero’s Topics and Its Peripatetic Sources, 5.

Das Problem Theorie-Praxis in der Peripatos-Rezeption von Ciceros Staatsschrift, 7. “Naturrecht” bei Aristoteles und bei Cicero (De legibus): Ein Vergleich, 8. Gibt es Spuren von Theophrasts Phys . op. bei Cicero? 9. Theophrast in Cicero’s De finibus Olof Gigon 10. Die Peripatetiker in Cicero’s Tuskulanen, 11.
