Title: El Cicerón de la tradición cosmopolita de Martha C. Nussbaum: ¿cosmopolitismo o imperialismo justo?
Review/Collection: Pensamiento, vol. 80, núm. 310

Description: Martha C. Nussbaum's use of Book I of On Duties as the first proposal of Stoic cosmopolitanism in The Cosmopolitan Tradition is discussed. More specifically, it is questioned whether a theory of the «bifurcation of duties» can be drawn from fragment 1. 20-60. Against this thesis, we propose to interpret the fragment, on the one hand, as the exposition that a father experienced in politics makes to his son about the most prudent way to behave so that his actions are considered worthy of his social position, and, on the other hand, as a program that would define the values proper to Romanity as Cicero conceives it. From a political point of view, the Roman orator seeks to cement the optimate position against the redistributive program of the populares. Philosophically, he combats the egalitarian or cynical version of Stoicism by stressing the importance of the Platonic-Aristotelian principle of the natural sociability of human beings and the civic duties that derive from it [Author].
