内容概要

古罗马最优秀的演说家西塞罗一向以雄辩滔滔、含蓄隽永著称。他的三论——论责任、论老年、论友谊——发表于公元前44年,时年62岁的西塞罗总结自已一生从政、交友、问学的经验,对友谊、责任、道德准则、老年乃至个人与国家利益等人生重大问题进行了全面、深刻的阐述,说理透辟,词采丰赡,正所谓“人之将死,其言也善”,是古典时代哲理散文的典范之作,两千年来一直广为诵读。    睿智、正义、勇气、节制,这是贯穿于“三沦”始终的一个基调。的确,正如评论家所言:《西塞罗三论》给予了现代人许多安身、立命的启迪,一卷在于,亦复何求?

作者简介

西塞罗(Marcus Tullius Cicero,公元前106-前43年),古代罗马著名的政治家、演说家、古典共和思想的重要代表,罗马共和国后期杰出的散文大家,其典雅的拉丁文体促进了拉丁文学的发展,影响了后来欧洲的教育。主要著作有《论共和国》、《论法律》、《论演说家》、《论老年》、《论神性》、《图斯库罗姆谈话录》等。 
西塞罗出身于骑士阶层,家道富有,心性聪慧,先后在著名的修辞学家、法学家和哲学家门下接受教育,热爱罗马国家,通晓希腊文化。他起初从事律师工作,不久后从政,在政坛发迹顺利,成功竞选各种职务,不断升迁,公元前63年担任罗马最高官职执政官。后来,他在罗马共和国末期的政治权力角逐中几度沉浮,最终遭政敌杀害。

章节摘录

  Complete conformity,or perfect virtue,is, according to this school, attainable onlyby the truly wise, and its earlier disciples, while by no meanscertain that this ideal perfectness had ever been realized inhuman form even by Zeno, the great master, yet admitted nomoral distinction between those who fell but little short ofperfection and those who had made no progress toward it. Thelater Stoics, however, recognized degrees of goodness, and werediligent expositors and teachers of the duties within the scopeof those not truly wise, by the practice of which there might bean ever nearer approach to perfection. This philosophy was,from Cicero's time till Christianity gained ascendency, theonly antiseptic that preserved Roman society from utter andremediless corruption.  The Peripatetic philosophy makes virtue to consist inmoderation, or the avoidance of extremes, and places eachof the individual virtues midway between opposite vices, astemperance between excess and asceticism; generosity betweenprodigality and avarice; meekness between irascibility andpusillanimity. It admits the reality of the intrinsically rightas distinguished from the merely expedient or useful; but itmaintains that happiness is the supreme object and end of life,and that for this end, virtue, though essential, is not sufficientwithout external goods,——so that the wisely virtuous man, whilehe will never violate the right, will pursue by all legitimatemeans such outward advantages as may be within his reach.  ……
