The third and fourth books of Cicero's "Tusculan Disputations" deal
with the nature and management of human emotion: first grief, then
the emotions in general. In lively and accessible style, Cicero
presents the insights of Greek philosophers on the subject,
reporting the views of Epicureans and Peripatetics and giving a
detailed account of the Stoic position, which he himself favors for
its close reasoning and moral earnestness. Both the specialist and
the general reader will be fascinated by the Stoics' analysis of
the causes of grief, their classification of emotions by genus and
species, their lists of oddly named character flaws, and by the
philosophical debate that develops over the utility of anger in
politics and war.
Margaret Graver's elegant and idiomatic translation makes Cicero's
work accessible not just to classicists but to anyone interested in
ancient philosophy and psychotherapy or in the philosophy of
emotion. The accompanying commentary explains the philosophical
concepts discussed in the text and supplies many helpful parallels
from Greek sources.
