In the 40s BCE, during his forced retirement from politics under Caesar's dictatorship, Cicero turned to philosophy, producing a massive and important body of work. As he was acutely aware, this was an unusual undertaking for a Roman statesman because Romans were often hostile to philosophy, perceiving it as foreign and incompatible with fulfilling one's duty as a citizen. How, then, are we to understand Cicero's decision to pursue philosophy in the context of the political, intellectual, and cultural life of the late Roman republic?
Otiose otium: the status of intellectual activity in late republican prefaces -- On a more personal note: philosophy in the letters -- The gift of philosophy: the treatises as translations -- With the same voice: oratory as a transitional space -- Reading a Ciceronian preface: strategies of reader management -- Philosophy after Caesar: the new direction
