Summary
In this chapter the topic of the interaction between Roman law and Hellenistic philosophy in the late Republican era is introduced, with reference to earlier treatments in modern scholarship. Furthermore, preliminary issues are brought up, such as the problem of the sources, the characterisations of law and philosophy as practices – law as a practice of dispute resolution and philosophy as practiced within schools or haereseis with different outlooks -, and the role of rhetoric in the interaction.
