Paraclesis; Or, Consolations Deduced From Natural and Revealed Religion (Classic Reprint): In Two Dissertations - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Explore a close reading of Paraclesis, the two‑dissertation work that tests the Consolation attributed to Cicero and what it means for faith, grief, and virtue.
This edition surveys the debates over authorship, traces the arguments of critics, and shows how the text treats humane suffering, piety, and the memory of public figures. It also offers a concise look at Tullia’s life and how a father’s grief shapes a philosophical response to loss, duty, and consolation.
- How scholars assess authenticity and why a text’s merit matters more than its name
- Connections between classical philosophy, religion, and human consolation
- Context for Cicero’s era, including personal and political turmoil
- Brief portraits of figures and ideas that influenced the discussion of God, virtue, and fate
Ideal for readers of classical philosophy and literary criticism who seek a clear, grounded view of how ancient ideas about religion and virtue illuminate modern questions about suffering and consolation.
