Thinking About Friendship with Cicero
COURSE
Course description
Cicero’s dialogue Laelius, On Friendship explores ancient ideas and arguments about the value of friendship, the different sorts of friendship, its connection with wisdom and virtue, how to develop friendships, and when to end them.
Written in a chaotic time during the fall of the Roman Republic, it alludes to the foolishness and wickedness of those who are friends to tyrants.
Reading this dialogue in a seminar format gives us the chance to learn about ancient schools of philosophy and Roman politics in Cicero’s time, as well as to think about what friendship means to us in our modern world.
