Synopsis
Contributing Authors

A la fin de 47, la situation politique et familiale de Ciceron est au plus bas. L’annee 47 voit le retour triomphal de Cesar apres sa victoire sur Pompee a Pharsale: le parti de Ciceron a perdu et la Republique agonise. La vie privee du grand orateur n’est guere plus rejouissante: la sante de sa precieuse Tullia, sa fille, ne cesse de se deteriorer. C’est dans cette periode de crise que Ciceron choisit de composer les Paradoxes des Stoiciens, oeuvre de distraction comme il la qualifie lui-meme: la logique et la rhetorique comme remede aux maux de ce monde, tels sont Les Paradoxes. Plus profondement, il s’agit pour Ciceron d’operer, en douceur, un changement de role: comment un orateur pouvait-il faire passer ses idees et influencer les esprits? La philosophie semble le meilleur moyen. Puisque la Republique est morte, ce n’est plus par la politique que l’on peut inculquer les valeurs republicaines, mais par la pensee. Ainsi les Paradoxes sont une oeuvre charniere de la pensee ciceronienne: le Ciceron orateur cede la place au Ciceron philosophe. Notre edition rassemble en un volume les six paradoxes: Le beau moral est le seul bien , La vertu suffit au bonheur , Toutes les fautes sont egales , Qui n’est point sage delire , Le sage seul est libre et Le sage seul est riche sont longuement analyses dans l’introduction qui s’attache notamment a replacer le texte non seulement dans les debats philosophiques de l’epoque, mais aussi dans le developpement de la pensee ciceronienne. Les influences philosophiques, grecques particulierement, sont brievement presentees tandis que la tradition manuscrite est relatee en detail. Des notes accompagnent la lecture et sont developpees, en fin de volume, par des notes complementaires. L’ouvrage est en outre enrichi par un Index nominum et des Observations sur les clausules.
