This text expands on the essence of Cicero’s humanistic pedagogy. The article consists of four parts: the introduction focuses on pedagogical connotation of the humanitas concept and connection of this term to the Greek φιλανθρωπία and παιδεία found in Cicero, the following two parts are devoted to Cicero’s own analysis of the features of humanitas as regards the process and result of education and the concluding part emphasises the point that Cicero himself used the word humanitas to describe an education-based life practice of an individual. The research was carried out with financial support of The Russian Foundation for Basic Research’ grant (project 16-06-00004").
