Description: This article evaluates the success of Reiner Schürmann’s reading of Cicero in Broken Hegemonies. It examines his reading phusis/natura, the divine mind and natural law, the “natural birth of the city,” and universal/(normative) singular dichotomies in the presentation of the “Latin fantasm” Cicero’s work allegedly represents. Offering a closer reading of Cicero, specifically his De Legibus, De Re Publica and De Officiis, this article will show that Cicero does not represent the Latin fantasm in any clear and compelling way. In particular, the “law of nature” in Cicero is not hegemonic in the way that Schürmann insists it is. [Editor]
