De Officiis (On Duties) was Cicero's last philosophical work. In it
he made use of Greek thought to formulate the political and ethical
values of Roman Republican society as he saw them, revealing
incidentally a great deal about actual practice. Writing at a time
of political crisis after the assassination of Julius Caesar in
44BC, when it was not clear how much of the old Republican order
would survive, Cicero here handed on the insights of an elder
statesman, adept at political theory and practice, to his son, and
through him, to the younger generation in general. De Officiis has
often been treated merely as a key to the lost Greek works that
Cicero used. This volume aims to render De Officiis, which was such
an important influence on later masterpieces of Western political
thought, more intelligible by explaining its relation to its own
time and place. A wholly new translation is accompanied by a lucid
introduction and all the standard features of Cambridge Texts in
the History of Political Thought, including a chronology, select
bibliography, and notes on the vocabulary and significant
individuals mentioned in the text.
