Three of Cicero’s philosophical works in C. D. Yonge’s translation. The Academic Questions ask whether certain knowledge is possible; De Finibus sets Epicurean, Stoic and Academic views of the highest good against one another; the Tusculan Disputations treat death, pain, grief and whether virtue alone brings happiness. A sketch of the Greek philosophers Cicero mentions opens the volume.
Cicero carried Greek thought to Rome and, through these dialogues, to later Europe. Download the free EPUB.
