Produktbeschreibung

Tusculanarum Disputationum Ad M. Brutum Libri Quinque (1884) is a book written by the famous Roman philosopher and orator, Marcus Tullius Cicero. The book is a collection of five dialogues between Cicero and his friend, Marcus Brutus, in which they discuss various philosophical topics such as death, grief, virtue, and the nature of the gods. The title of the book, Tusculanarum Disputationum, refers to the location of the dialogues, which took place at Cicero's villa in Tusculum. The book is written in Latin and was originally published in 45 BC. In the first dialogue, Cicero discusses the nature of grief and how to overcome it. He argues that grief is a natural emotion, but that it can be overcome through reason and philosophy. In the second dialogue, Cicero explores the topic of death and argues that it is not something to be feared, but rather something to be accepted as a natural part of life. In the third dialogue, Cicero discusses the nature of pain and how to deal with it. He argues that pain is a necessary part of life and that it can be overcome through the practice of virtue. In the fourth dialogue, Cicero explores the nature of pleasure and argues that it should be pursued in moderation and with an eye towards the greater good. Finally, in the fifth dialogue, Cicero discusses the nature of the gods and argues that they exist and that they are benevolent. He also explores the topic of divination and argues that it is possible to predict the future through reason and observation. Overall, Tusculanarum Disputationum Ad M. Brutum Libri Quinque is a fascinating exploration of some of the most important philosophical topics of the ancient world.

Autorenporträt

Marcus Tullius Cicero (January 3, 106 BC - December 7, 43 BC) was a Roman statesman, lawyer, scholar, philosopher, writer, and Academic skeptic who attempted to defend optimal values during the political upheavals that led to the foundation of the Roman Empire. His voluminous publications include rhetorical, philosophical, and political treatises. He is regarded as one of Rome's best orators and prose stylists, as well as the creator of "Ciceronian rhetoric." Cicero received his education in both Rome and Greece. He was born into a wealthy Roman equestrian family and served as consul in 63 BC. His impact on the Latin language was enormous. He composed more than three-quarters of the existing Latin literature known to have existed during his lifetime, and succeeding prose has been said to be either a reaction against or a return to his style, not only in Latin but in European languages up to the nineteenth century.
