Cicero already has many books in this collection, and most of them feature the original Latin text. This is the third translation for Philip Freeman who already presented How to Be a Friend: An Ancient Guide to True Friendship (2018) and How to Grow Old: Ancient Wisdom for the Second Half of Life (2016). As in the case of these works, Freeman here offers translations alongside the original Latin text of De Natura Deorum and De Republica. This volume is a great addition to the already very appealing collection from Princeton University Press. This is the first book to deal more directly with some aspects of ancient philosophy of religion. On the Nature of the Gods is one of the essential texts about the philosophy of religion before the dawn of Christianity. The selected passages present very important aspects of Stoic philosophy of religion as presented by Cicero. Appartiene alle Serie
A vivid and accessible new translation of Cicero's influential Stoic writings on the divineMost ancient Romans were deeply religious and their world was overflowing with gods-from Jupiter, Minerva, and Mars to countless local divinities, household gods, and ancestral spirits. One of the most influential Roman perspectives on religion came from a nonreligious belief system that is finding new adherents even today: Stoicism. How did the Stoics think about religion? In How to Think about God, Philip Freeman presents vivid new translations of Cicero's On the Nature of the Gods and The Dream of Scipio. In these brief works, Cicero offers a Stoic view of belief, divinity, and human immortality, giving eloquent expression to the religious ideas of one of the most popular schools of Roman and Greek philosophy.On the Nature of the Gods and The Dream of Scipio are Cicero's best-known and most important writings on religion, and they have profoundly shaped Christian and non-Christian thought for more than two thousand years, influencing such luminaries as Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Dante, and Thomas Jefferson. These works reveal many of the religious aspects of Stoicism, including an understanding of the universe as a materialistic yet continuous and living whole in which both the gods and a supreme God are essential elements.Featuring an introduction, suggestions for further reading, and the original Latin on facing pages, How to Think about God is a compelling guide to the Stoic view of the divine.
