The Orations Of Marcus Tullius Cicero Vol. IV
About the Book
The orations of Marcus Tullius Cicero Vol. IV engages with the volatility of a society undergoing political fragmentation, highlighting deep anxieties about the erosion of traditional structures. The focus rests on public responsibility and the dangers of unchecked ambition. Within this atmosphere of unrest, institutional collapse looms, and civic participation becomes both urgent and precarious. The work scrutinizes the moral failings of leadership, casting doubt on those who manipulate collective fear for personal gain. It captures the urgency of discourse as a form of resistance, portraying speech not only as persuasion but as a force against autocracy. Through appeals to inherited values, the text critiques opportunism and explores the fragility of civil order when power is centralized. It calls attention to the tensions between loyalty to the state and self-preservation, exploring how governance is imperiled when foundational principles are dismissed. The volume ultimately raises questions about duty, the cost of silence, and the lengths to which one must go to protect a failing system from internal decay.
Marcus Tullius Cicero (January 3, 106 BC – December 7, 43 BC) was a Roman statesman, lawyer, scholar, philosopher, writer, and Academic skeptic who attempted to defend optimal values during the political upheavals that led to the foundation of the Roman Empire. His voluminous publications include rhetorical, philosophical, and political treatises. He is regarded as one of Rome's best orators and prose stylists, as well as the creator of "Ciceronian rhetoric." Cicero received his education in both Rome and Greece. He was born into a wealthy Roman equestrian family and served as consul in 63 BC. His impact on the Latin language was enormous. He composed more than three-quarters of the existing Latin literature known to have existed during his lifetime, and succeeding prose has been said to be either a reaction against or a return to his style, not only in Latin but in European languages up to the nineteenth century.
