The book is written in the Latin language and was translated into French by Jean-Baptiste-Louis Crevier in 1798.

Des Devoirs V1 is divided into three parts, with each part examining different aspects of duty. The first part discusses the concept of moral obligation and the importance of fulfilling one's duties to society. The second part examines the relationship between duty and self-interest, arguing that fulfilling one's duties can also be in one's own best interest. The third and final part explores the idea of natural law and how it relates to the concept of duty. Overall, Des Devoirs V1 is a philosophical treatise on the importance of fulfilling one's obligations and duties to society and oneself.

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.
