Descrizione: [Delle Donne, Carlo][Abstract] This article examines the function that Plato’s theory of reminiscence plays in select passages in Cicero. Granted that Cicero’s support for this theory cannot be established in any definitive way, it is nonetheless very likely that Cicero felt it was a valuable theory for two reasons: (i) it was able to connect the soul and true being, which is that of the intelligible forms; and, (ii) it legitimised the aspiration to engage in activities that do not involve the body but exclusively the soul (activities such as divination)
