- Summary:
- Analyzes the unique literary design, the prefaces, and the didactic plot of the Tusculan Disputations. This title shows how Cicero sets up, justifies, and enacts a drama in philosophical education that turns this dialogue into his most ingenious literary response to the tyranny of Caesar. The book shows how the Tusculan's literary design, critically isolated prefaces, and didactic plot start to cohere once we read the dialogue for what it is: not a Latin treatise on Greek philosophy, but a Roman drama on education with a strong political subtext.
