«La adivinación / El hado» is Cicero's philosophical essay, published by Orbis in 1986 in hardback (124 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together two treatises by Cicero: «La adivinación» and «El hado». In the first, he examines divinatory practices and their value; in the second, he reflects on destiny and fatalism, confronting Stoic and sceptical positions on whether the future is determined.
It belongs to the collection «Historia del pensamiento» (no. 76). It includes an introduction by Francisco José Fortuny and a translation from Latin by Francisco Navarro y Calvo.
For readers interested in classical philosophy, Cicero's thought, and ancient debates on destiny and divination.
Marcus Tullius Cicero was a Roman statesman, lawyer, scholar, philosopher, orator, and writer who tried to uphold optimate principles during the political crises of the Roman Republic that led to the establishment of the Roman Empire. The extensive writings of Cicero include treatises on rhetoric, philosophy, and politics. He is considered one of Rome's greatest orators and prose stylists and the innovator of what became known as "Ciceronian rhetoric". Cicero was educated in Rome and in Greece. He came from a wealthy municipal family of the Roman equestrian order, and served as consul in 63 BC.
