Beschreibung

Cicero's Essays On Old Age And Friendship: Also His Paradoxes is a book written by Marcus Tullius Cicero, a famous Roman philosopher, politician, and orator. The book is a collection of three essays that Cicero wrote on the topics of old age, friendship, and paradoxes. In the first essay, Cicero discusses the virtues and benefits of growing old gracefully. He argues that old age can be a time of great wisdom and contentment, and that it is possible to remain active and engaged in life even as one ages. The second essay focuses on the importance of friendship in a person's life. Cicero explores the nature of true friendship, arguing that it is based on mutual respect, trust, and loyalty. He also discusses the different types of friendship and the benefits that come from having close relationships with others. The third and final essay in the book is a collection of paradoxes, or statements that seem to contradict each other but are actually true. Cicero uses these paradoxes to explore deeper philosophical concepts and to challenge his readers to think critically about the world around them. Overall, Cicero's Essays On Old Age And Friendship: Also His Paradoxes is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers valuable insights into some of life's most important topics. It is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, ethics, or the human experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autor

Marcus Tullius Cicero (January 3, 106 BC - December 7, 43 BC) was a Roman statesman, lawyer, scholar, philosopher, writer, and Academic skeptic who attempted to defend optimal values during the political upheavals that led to the foundation of the Roman Empire. His voluminous publications include rhetorical, philosophical, and political treatises. He is regarded as one of Rome's best orators and prose stylists, as well as the creator of "Ciceronian rhetoric." Cicero received his education in both Rome and Greece. He was born into a wealthy Roman equestrian family and served as consul in 63 BC. His impact on the Latin language was enormous. He composed more than three-quarters of the existing Latin literature known to have existed during his lifetime, and succeeding prose has been said to be either a reaction against or a return to his style, not only in Latin but in European languages up to the nineteenth century.
