Marcus Tullius Cicero, who lived from 106 BCE - 43 BCE, not only involved himself in the domestic and foreign affairs of the Roman empire, but he also taught Roman citizens, as he would instruct us, to commit themselves to public service.
His main means of engagement was through rhetoric, by which Cicero meant the ability to speak wisely and eloquently about public affairs.
This is why we must use public discourse to instruct and to inspire, but we should also think about public discourse, critically and with some trepidation.
