The Republic of Cicero: Translated from the Latin; And Accompanied with a Critical and Historical Introduction.
1998
Translated by George William Featherstonhaugh
Cicero's "The Republic" is not a dry political treatise but an urgent cri de cœur from a man watching his world collapse. Written as Rome convulsed through civil war and the death of democratic governance, this dialogue imagines what a just society might look like - and why it keeps failing. Through the voices of Scipio Africanus and his companions, Cicero ranges across the heavens and the duties of citizenship, asking fundamental questions: What makes government legitimate? Can virtue be taught? Is the ideal republic possible, or only the least corrupt form of corruption? The work pulses with intellectual passion, but also with the grief of a man who knew the Republic was already lost and wanted, at least, to preserve its memory.
