Publisher's Synopsis
This is an English translation of Marcus Tullius Cicero's "Tusculan Disputations," a cornerstone of Roman philosophy. Penned by a scholar from Christ Church College, Oxford, this edition makes Cicero's profound exploration of Stoic and Academic philosophical thought accessible to a modern audience. The five books delve into essential questions of human existence: the fear of death, the endurance of pain, the alleviation of distress, the power of emotions, and the nature of virtue and happiness.
Cicero's insightful arguments and rhetorical skill offer a timeless examination of the human condition. This translation invites readers to engage with the enduring wisdom of one of history's greatest thinkers, presented in clear and elegant prose.
