'any service I may have rendered my countrymen in my active life I
may also extend to them... now that I am at leisure' Marcus Tullius
Cicero (106-43 BC), Rome's greatest orator, had a career of intense
activity in politics, the law courts and the administration, mostly
in Rome. His fortunes, however, followed those of Rome, and he
found himself driven into exile in 58 BC, only to return a year
later to a city paralyzed by the domination of Pompey, Crassus, and
Caesar. Cicero, though a senior statesman, struggled to maintain
his independence and it was during these years that, frustrated in
public life, he first started to put his excess energy, stylistic
brilliance, and superabundant vocabulary into writing these works
of philosophy. The three dialogues collected here are the most
accessible of Cicero's works, written to his friends Atticus and
Brutus, with the intent of popularizing philosophy in Ancient Rome.
They deal with the everyday problems of life; ethics in business,
the experience of grief, and the difficulties of old age.
