The Academic Questions, Treatise De Finibus, and Tusculan Disputations, of M.T. Cicero, With a Sketch of the Greek Philosophers Mentioned by Cicero
This volume brings together three of Cicero's philosophical works in the English translation of Charles Duke Yonge, preceded by a sketch of the Greek philosophers he mentions. The Academic Questions discuss the theory of knowledge and defend the skepticism of the New Academy. The treatise De Finibus, on the chief good and evil, sets out in turn the ethics of the Epicureans, the Stoics and the Old Academy and criticizes each. The Tusculan Disputations, written after the death of Cicero's daughter Tullia, take up the fear of death, the endurance of pain, grief, the disorders of the soul and whether virtue alone is enough for happiness. Together they made Greek philosophy available to Latin readers. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
