From him was probably derived that strong love for the old Latin dramatic and epic poetry which his son throughout his writings displays. He too, we may conjecture, led the young Cicero to feel the importance of a study of philosophy to serve as a corrective for the somewhat narrow rhetorical discipline of the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCicero's first systematic lessons in philosophy were given him by the Epicurean Phaedrus, then at Rome because of the unsettled state of Athens, whose lectures he attended at a very early age, even before he had assumed the toga virilis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marcus Tullius Cicero\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1981291385\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781981291380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.31d","brand":"Marcus Tullius Cicero","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44077243662591,"sku":"9781981291380","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d9aaf451-0f80-4a82-88b0-a457f8511718.jpg?v=1685468961","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-academica-of-cicero-marcus-tullius-cicero-9781981291380","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
