About this product

Product Information

For the great Roman orator and statesman Cicero, 'the good life' was at once a life of contentment and one of moral virtue - and the two were inescapably intertwined. This volume brings together a wide range of his reflections upon the importance of moral integrity in the search for happiness. In essays that are articulate, meditative and inspirational, Cicero presents his views upon the significance of friendship and duty to state and family, and outlines a clear system of practical ethics that is at once simple and universal. These works offer a timeless reflection upon the human condition, and a fascinating insight into the mind of one of the greatest thinkers of Ancient Rome.

Deep with great personal detail
This is a great read by a man of deep personal convictions. It is thoughtful and probes the philosophical systems of the ancient world like Platonism and Stoicism with great clarity. His open-ended attitude to questions is attractive. The essay 'On Friendship' is particularly to be recommended. A man of great moderation in an immoderate age. Enjoy!
