This is very strange and very different than what I read in his texts and studied in my time... Cicero famously defined rhetoric as "a good person speaking well." The "good person" part means he claimed that the rhetoric by definition was concerned with ethics. In that light, this is a fascinating speech for me. I wonder, now, about the actual history of his speeches and how they contrast with his writing.
My exam’s in 8 days, this has been very helpful :)
