Description
Cicero's philosophical writings offer insights into the "good life" and its essential components. Written in the 1st century BC, these treatises cover topics such as friendship, religion, death, fate, and scientific inquiry.
The author, a Roman orator and statesman, drew on his observations of the world to inform his philosophies. This new translation brings Cicero's work to modern readers, highlighting the importance of social ties, free will, and creative endeavour.
