While Cicero's value as documentary evidence for the Hellenistic schools is unquestioned, \u003ci\u003eCicero: \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Philosophy of a Roman Sceptic\u003c\/i\u003e explores his writings as works of philosophy that do more than simply synthesize the thought of others, but instead offer a unique viewpoint of their own. In this volume Raphael Woolf describes and evaluates Cicero's philosophical achievements, paying particular attention to his relation to those philosophers he draws upon in his works, his Romanizing of Greek philosophy, and his own sceptical and dialectical outlook. The volume aims, using the best tools of philosophical, philological and historical analysis, to do Cicero justice as a distinctive philosophical voice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSituating Cicero's work in its historical and political context, this volume provides a detailed analysis of the thought of one of the finest orators and writers of the Roman period.
