Abstract
Abstract As Cicero reaches his, rnoth birthday,1 his philosophical works are being taken more seriously by scholars than they have been for generations. Twenty or thirty years ago, Cicero the philosopher (whatever might have been said of Cicero the orator, Cicero the statesman or Cicero ‘the man’) was on the whole held in low esteem.2 Then, it would have been hard to conceive that a collection of essays devoted entirely to the philosophical works could have arisen spontaneously, even amid the enthusiasm occasioned in 1958-9 by the bimillenary of Cicero’s death. The renewed scholarly interest in Cicero as a philosophical writer is a phenomenon of the last ten or fifteen years.
