About the acceptance of greek philosophy and the political behaviour in Cicero

我研究的目的是理解西塞罗哲学的罗马原创性。西塞罗有政治家和哲学家的双重身份。这两方面的统一形成也许可以在这位罗马哲学家深刻而强烈的思想中得到欣赏。我读过许多有关西塞罗政治活动和理论研究的文献。我发现西塞罗与希腊和希腊化哲学家的对话是多么诚实和彻底。西塞罗的对话与对抗充满了自由批判的精神。他对罗马共和政治的责任和艰巨的义务是通过他对苏格拉底，柏拉图和亚里士多德的勤奋和热情的研究来完成的。我们必须感激地注意到，如果没有西塞罗，希腊哲学的生动深度和微妙差异就不会在今天的世界流传下来。从这个观点出发，我试图澄清，所谓的西塞罗的折衷主义，更确切地说，或者首先是西塞罗哲学的真诚和独创性的表达。

The aim of my research is to apprehend the Roman originality of Cicero's philosophy. Cicero has two-faces of a statesman and philosopher. The unitary formation of these both sides could be perhaps appreciated in the deep and strong mentality of this roman philosopher. I have read manifold literature concerning the political activity and theoretical investigation of Cicero. I found how honestly and thoroughly Cicero dialogued with Greek and Hellenistic philosophers. Cicero's dialogue and confrontation were full of his free and critical spirit. His responsible and difficult obligation on the republic politics of Rome were achieved by the wonderful support of his diligent and hearty studies about Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. And we must notice with gratitude that the lively depth and the subtle difference of Hellenistic philosophies would not have come down the today's world without Cicero. From this view of point I endeavored to clarify that the so-called eclecticism of Cicero was rather or in the first place the expression of Cicero's philosophical sincerity and originality.
