Item description from seller

178 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Altersbedingt vergilbt, Einband leicht bestoßen, sonst sehr gutes Exemplar / Yellowed due to age, binding slightly scuffed, otherwise very good copy. - EDITORS PREFACE CICEROS career, influence and meaning are most important in determining Our Debt to Greece and Rome, which the volumes of this series are aiming to make clear. Cicero, the great mediator, has enshrined the significance of ancient Rome in the hearts of many, and our debt to him is one of the spirit, of enlightenment and charity, of love of truth and liberty. So great is that debt that another volume in the Library is reserved for Cicero, the philosopher. Professor Rolfe has written a defense of Cicero, such as will commend itself to twentieth century thought. That Ciceros star has, at times, suffered an eclipse is not astonishing. Ignorance may blot out even a gospel of light. But the appraisal of the future is apt to be more cordial than it has sometimes been in the past. The story of the influence of Cicero is one to command admiration and wonder. Such movements as Christianity, the Renaissance and the French Revolution drew direct inspiration from this Roman of long ago. The charm of. his language and the reasonableness of' his thought have contributed to Ciceros enduring influence. It was Ciceros persuasive eloquence that made the world pay heed to his message. Centuries after his death, Cicero has remained a living presence, real to members of the English Parliament, real to Thomas Jefferson, and for us he remains an immortal, who, above all, demonstrates the unity of civilization and the common aspirations of the race. It is reserved for only a few to belong to yesterday, to-day and tomorrow and to lead mankind by wisdom that possesses universal validity. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.
