De natura deorum, De divinatione, De fato, Divinatio, Religio, SuperstitioAbstract
Como já se observou, nos textos de Cícero se registra pela primeira vez o emprego da palavra divinatio como termo que se refere ao conjunto de rituais adivinhatórios. Neste trabalho, indagaremos qual é o seu emprego e que valoração recebe em De natura deorum, em De fato e em De divinatione. Desse modo, analisaremos em particular que lugar ocupa na oposição entre religio (entendida como o conjunto de práticas adequadas para levar adiante o cultus deorum) e superstitio (sua contraparte negativa, caracterizada por uma crença desmedida e irracional).
