A unique selection of Cicero's most accessible philosophical works which deal with the problems encountered in everyday life
This edition includes On Old Age, On Friendship, and the whole of Books 1, 2, and 5 of the Tusculan Disputations, with the prefaces and summaries of 3 and 4.
Lively introduction sets out the historical context, with notes that are fuller and more reliable than in any previous translation
The translation preserves Cicero's literary, artistic, and emotional force as a philospher while achieving new standards of accuracy
Editorial material includes Chronology and a Note on the Text
The Appendix covers Cicero's two letters that deal with the same issues as On Friendship and show how rooted in real moral diemmas of the period the treatise is
Texts translated by John Davie, translator of the OWC Seneca, Disalogues and Essays, and Horace, Satires and Epistles
