FILOZOFICKÁ REDEFINÍCIA POJMOV ŠTÁT, OBČAN A VYHNANEC V CICERÓNOVOM SPISE PARADOXA STOICORUM

The article deals with the analysis of Cicero’s redefinition of three political terms – state, citizen, exile – in the ‘Paradoxon IV’ (Cic. Parad. 27-32). Cicero attacks against Publius Clodius Pulcher in these chapters and dwells on the theme of his own exile. By stoic philosophical practices is here Clodius depicted as an enemy, non-citizen and Cicero as a stoic sage and ideal citizen. The study shows that philosophical elements are applicable to the political and rhetorical discourses and can be combined.
