本の内容
Reports of two suns in the sky reach Rome, and a few friends meet in a sunny garden to discuss them. Before long the eldest turns the talk. Why study two suns in the heavens, he asks, when the city below has two senates and almost two peoples?
That small turn opens The Republic, Cicero's dialogue on the best form of government. Cicero wrote it before Rome slid into civil war, after he had saved the city as consul and been driven into exile. You will hear the great ideas that later readers took up, including natural law and the mixed constitution.

Serving the state is the highest use of virtue
Cicero opens by arguing that goodness which stays at home is only half a virtue. A skill that is never used is still a skill, he says, but virtue lives in its use. Its greatest use is the government of states, where the lessons of the philosophers become living laws and habits.
He points to old Cato, a new man from outside the great families, who could have rested at his country house. Cato chose the storms of public life to extreme old age instead. For Cicero, nature plants in us a strong urge to defend the common good, strong enough to beat the pull of ease.
Some say politics is too dangerous. They point to Miltiades, who won at Marathon and ended in chains. Cicero adds his own case. The people cheered him for saving the republic, yet enemies still hounded him. He says he would act again.
He also mocks the thinker who will take the helm only in a great storm. How can anyone steer in a hurricane who never learned on a calm sea? Your country is not a hotel that serves your comfort. She holds your talents as a pledge.
Knowledge and goodness are finished only when they are put to work for the common good.

『キケロの国家論』についての質問
What is Cicero's Republic about?
It is a dialogue about the best form of government. A group of Roman friends define a republic, compare kings, nobles and the people, defend a mixed constitution, trace the growth of Rome, and argue over justice.
Who are Scipio, Laelius and Philus?
They are leading Romans of a generation before Cicero. Scipio hosts the talk and speaks most about government, Laelius is his elder friend who asks the key questions, and Philus argues against justice to test it.
What does Cicero mean by a republic?
He defines it as the people's common interest, held together by shared law and a common sense of right. Where one tyrant or a self-serving faction owns everything, he says, no real republic exists.
When was The Republic written and is it a true story?
Cicero wrote it in the 50s BC, during the unrest that preceded civil war. The conversation is an invented dialogue set a generation earlier, using real historical people, though the speakers' words are Cicero's own.
What is the Dream of Scipio?
It is the closing section of the book, in which Scipio sees the small earth from the heavens and learns that those who serve their country gain a lasting place beyond death. It has been quoted and studied separately for centuries.
