Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This new, original translation of Cicero's On the Nature of the Gods is the first to appear in many years. Do the gods exist Is there a divine order to the universe And if there is, what is humanity's role in this grand conception Does a divine power care about human affairs These are just a few of the profound questions discussed in Cicero's philosophical masterpiece.In dialogues that showcase the differing perspectives of the Stoic, Epicurean, and Academic schools, Cicero delves into a stunning variety of subjects, including human anatomy, theology, cosmology, astronomy, biology, and divination. The persistent themes of Cicero's vision are his insistence on a moral basis for human conduct, the existence of free will and human agency, and his soaring faith in the unique role reserved for the human race in the universe's destiny. It is no wonder that Voltaire called On the Nature of the Gods, along with Cicero's Tusculan Disputations, '[the] two most beautiful works ever composed by human wisdom.'Translator Quintus Curtius has returned to the original Latin text to produce a fresh, modern, illustrated English edition that breathes new life into a long-neglected classic of Western thought. The text is extensively annotated, and formatted using modern dialogue conventions for ease of reading. Also included are an explanatory introduction, topical content list, and a comprehensive index. Cicero's seminal work has much to tell us today, and with this translation has never been more accessible to the modern reader.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Roman statesman and orator Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 B.C.-40 B.C.) remains a writer whose enormous influence has been felt for many centuries. Tusculan Disputations is his most wide-ranging philosophical work, and was intended to introduce the Roman people to the pleasures and benefits of the study of philosophy. Using a series of stimulating dialogues, Tusculan Disputations examines five practical topics: dealing with the fear of death, enduring pain, reducing anxiety, the various disorders of the soul, and the human need for virtue. These dialogues-accessible yet movingly profound-address some of the most relevant and urgent problems of modern life. This is the first translation of Tusculan Disputations to appear in many generations. It requires no prior background in the subject matter, and is ideal for the student or motivated reader. Translator Quintus Curtius has returned to the original Latin text to produce an English edition that is modern, clear, and faithful to the original. It is extensively annotated and illustrated, formatted with modern dialogue conventions for ease of reading, and contains an explanatory introduction and a comprehensive index. Cicero's original vision has been restored to all its glory for a new generation of readers.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Sextus Julius Frontinus (c. A.D. 35-c. 103) was one of the most capable administrators in the Roman Empire's long history. During his distinguished career, he served at least six emperors in a variety of prestigious offices, including general, consul, governor, proconsul of Asia, and supervisor of aqueducts. He may have been the longest-serving Roman governor of Britain, a position he held for five years.Frontinus's treatise, Stratagems, is a unique work in the history of military theory. It was likely composed towards the end of the first century A.D. Intended as a practical manual for military leaders, and drawing from the rich history of Greece and Rome, Stratagems offers a wealth of tactical ruses, ploys, and maneuvers that have been used to gain victory. His focus is entirely practical: what must a leader do to win Because Frontinus grasps the psychological and moral factors of conflict, his work retains a timeless importance that modern readers will find applicable to nearly every field of endeavor.This new, annotated translation by Quintus Curtius returns to the original Latin text to present Frontinus in a contemporary idiom to a modern audience. Containing a detailed introduction, a sketch of Frontinus's life, a discussion of ancient military writing and the realities of warfare in the classical world, an analysis of the text, hundreds of explanatory footnotes, a bibliography, and an extensive index, this translation aims to assist a new generation of readers in rediscovering an essential classic of strategic thought. …
