| description | The article is devoted to the analysis of the Latin concept of <em>cognitio</em> in Cicero’s writings. Based on the continuous sampling method, 173 cases of use of the concept were found. The meaning of 23 of them does not correspond to the semantic field “cognition” and the Stoic virtue of knowledge, therefore they are not analysed in the article. The concept of <em>cognitio</em> in the meaning of “cognition” is more often found in the singular form (143 times), less often – in the plural form (7 times). <em>Cognitio</em> is found in the synonymous series with the words <em>contemplatio</em>, <em>exercitatio, perceptio, prudentia, ratio, scientia</em> (most of all – with the word <em>scientia</em>). Cognition (<em>cognitio</em>) is opposed to action (<em>actio</em>) and ignorance (<em>ignoratio</em>). <em>Cognitio</em> sometimes has a dependent word: <em>rerum</em> (33 cases), less often – <em>animi</em>, <em>artis, deorum, naturae, virtutis, vitiorum</em>, etc. In turn, <em>cognitio</em> itself is used as a complement to the words <em>amor, appetitio, consultatio, cupiditas, genus, quaestio, studium</em>, <em>etc</em>. In the same context with <em>cognitio</em> there are such words as <em>res, natura, ratio, scientia, etc</em>. Cicero’s reasoning about cognition (<em>cognitio</em>) is found mainly in his philosophical writings when he analyses the views of ancient Greek philosophers (Academics, Peripatetics, Stoics), in particular – the Stoics and their teaching on virtues, which includes cognition as well. |
