Resumo: Cicero’s philosophical works put on the scene intellectual debates among members of the Roman élite, displaying a balanced combination of intellectual skills, moral excellence and political expertise. Greek philosophy emerges as an important ally in Cicero's intellectual project, but not in toto. This paper deals with ways in which Cicero dismisses a multitudo of philosophers who churn out what he considers dangerous and stylistically inferior works. In this way, Cicero contributed to the creation of a “classical” philosophy that still guides modern study of philosophy.

A filosofia grega emerge como um importante aliado no projeto intelectual de Cícero, mas não in toto. Este artigo lida com o modo pelo qual Cícero denigre uma multitudo de filósofos que produziam aquilo que ele considerava obras moralmente perigosas e estilisticamente inferiores, contribuindo para a criação de uma filosofia “clássica” que ainda configura o estudo moderno da filosofia.Cátedra UNESCO Archai (Universidade de Brasília); Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra, Portugal; Annablume Editora, São Paulo, Brasil2020-05-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArticlesArtigosapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/article/view/2770010.14195/1984-249X_30_12Revista Archai; No. 30 (2020): Archai 30 (2020 [3]); e03012Archai Journal; n. 30 (2020): Archai 30 (2020 [3]); e030121984-249X2179-496010.14195/1984-249X_30reponame:Revista Archai (Online)instname:Universidade de Brasília (UnB)instacron:UNBenghttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/article/view/27700/26073Copyright (c) 2020 Claudia Beltrãoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBeltrão, Claudia2020-06-02T11:46:38Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/27700Revistahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archaiPUBhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/oai||archaijournal@unb.br|| cornelli@unb.br1984-249X1984-249Xopendoar:2020-06-02T11:46:38Revista Archai (Online) - Universidade de Brasília (UnB)false
