- W4285333033 abstract "This chapter investigates the social world of late Republican intellectual activities and the ways in which the protagonists thought, spoke, and wrote about it. It seeks to debunk the widespread view that learned pursuits carried a stigma among the practically minded Romans and that upperclass men, therefore, felt the continuous need to justify their intellectual activities. Drawing mostly on the corpus of Cicero's letters, the chapter identifies a vocabulary of learned pursuits, which were most often generically referred to as <italic>studia</italic> or <italic>litterae</italic> and felt to consist of reading and writing. Such activities were intensely social, involving the studying aristocrat in multiform interchanges with Greek intellectuals, skilled slaves and freedmen, and his own <italic>amici</italic> with similar interests. The chapter then analyzes Cicero's <italic>Brutus</italic>, an amicable dialogue between the author and his friends Atticus and Brutus, which both depicts an idealized instance of “studying together” and—through its publication and dedication to Brutus—aspires to furthering in the real world the close-knit intellectual companionship that is projected by the text." @default.
