Description: Katherine East focuses on theological debates in early eighteenth century England, where Cicero’s authority and sympathy were claimed by the Freethinking radicals and their opponents. By examining disputes about the immortality of the soul, East demonstrates that the Ciceronian dialogue became an arena within which philosophical debates of the period took place, foreshadowing contemporary debates about ascertaining Cicero’s true philosophical views. While Cicero’s readers may have had polemical and self-interested aims in mind, there was widespread appreciation for Cicero the philosopher and for the philosophical tools he used [Hahmann & Vazquez 2025, 9].
