Истоки философии культуры. Цицерон

The author of the book focuses on the work of one of the most famous and original thinkers of antiquity, Marcus Tullius Cicero, who made an invaluable contribution to the dissemination of ancient Greek and the formation of ancient Roman philosophical thought. For thinkers of the Renaissance, his speeches and treatises were examples of classical literature and the most important source of information about ancient philosophy, and some of the ideas he expressed in the field of oratory, theory of argumentation, and aesthetics have not lost their relevance to this day.
Based on an analysis of his works Cicero's book touches on a wide range of issues of ethics, the history of religion and ancient culture in general, as well as the little-studied topic of the nature, essence and role of laughter. The book is intended for undergraduate and graduate students studying the history of ancient philosophy. It will also be useful to a wide range of readers interested in the history of philosophical thought and culture in general.
