Description
On Duties, the magnum opus of Marcus Tullius Cicero, is a clear and thoughtful exploration of the well-lived life. Written in a style that is both accessible and compelling, this work deals with the question of how to live a virtuous life in a way that has stood the test of time.
First published by Gutenberg's press, On Duties was a groundbreaking work that served as inspiration for Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. The book's three parts are full of historical examples that provide valuable insights into the events of Cicero's time, as well as his own culturally conservative interpretations of the era.
Read On Duties to gain a deeper understanding of the values and principles that underpinned ancient Roman society, and to discover a work of philosophy that continues to be relevant today.
