Lawyer, philosopher, statesman and defender of Rome's Republic, Cicero was a
master of eloquence, and his pure literary and oratorical style and strict sense
of morality have been a powerful influence on European literature and thought
for over two thousand years in matters of politics, philosophy, and faith. This
selection demonstrates the diversity of his writings, and includes letters to
friends and statesmen on Roman life and politics; the vitriolic Second Philippic
Against Antony; and his two most famous philosophical treatises, On Duties and
On Old Age - a celebration of his own declining years. Written at a time of
brutal political and social change, Cicero's lucid ethical writings formed the
foundation of the Western liberal tradition in political and moral thought that
continues to this day.
