Description

Why Cicero Matters offers a fresh perspective on the enduring impact of Roman philosopher and statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero. His influence extends far beyond his own time, shaping humanitarianism, the Enlightenment, and American democracy.

Cicero's unique approach to politics is presented in his philosophical texts On Duties, On Friendship, and On Old Age, which reveal a vision of politics as an intellectual art form that prioritizes education, culture, and philosophy. In an age where anti-intellectualism prevails, Cicero's ideas offer a reassuring counterpoint.

This book introduces readers to Cicero's compelling argument that culture is the foundation of any modern democracy, and that it should be built upon by the power of philosophy. By exploring Cicero's thoughts on these topics, Why Cicero Matters provides a timely and thought-provoking exploration of politics, philosophy, and their enduring relevance.
