2012réf. 26683Edizioni ETS. Very Good. Softcover. Light edgewear to wraps. Minor shelfwear. Else fine.; Il passaggio dalla Repubblica all'Impero continuamente si ripropone come questione cruciale negli studi su Roma antica e continuamente richiede rimeditazioni revisioni ritorni sia per l'arricchirsi della documentazione sia soprattutto per il continuo mutare delle prospettive da cui gli studiosi guardano a una fase della storia che tanto intensamente li sollecita anche attraverso molteplici suggestioni derivate dall'esperienza del presente. I capitoli di questo libro scritti da specialisti di aspetti diversi della civiltà antica - letteratura filosofia storia diritto - si riconducono ciascuno su linee proprie a quel grande tema considerandolo prevalentemente sul piano della storia intellettuale: la diversità delle situazioni e I processi di transizione nelle istituzioni politiche giuridiche e sociali e nel costume sono osservati attraverso lo sguardo di autori antichi che esplicitamente ne parlano o che ne sono in vario modo condizionati nella loro opera. Il coinvolgimento dell'attività intellettuale e letteraria nella situazione della comunità - il nesso tra letteratura e civitas - è la prospettiva problematica su cui è organizzato il volume. Ed è la prospettiva dominante nelle ricerche di Emanuele Narducci l'insigne studioso della letteratura di Roma antica alla cui memoria quest'opera è dedicata.
