Eighteenth century French full leather binding, with an all-over diamond and star pattern in gilt on the spine. Binding somewhat worn, but still attractive. This collection of "disputations" was a conscious attempt by Cicero to bring to the average educated Roman the essential practical insights of Greek philosophers of various schools. Cicero, besides his considerable career in public life as an orator, lawyer and politician, was a life-long student and dilettante of philosophy, and had studied in Greece with some of the main teachers of his time. The disputations cover: Fear of Death; Endurance of Pain; Alleviation of Distress; Disorders of the Soul; The Sufficiency of Virtue for a Happy Life. They are supposedly based upon conversations which Cicero says he had with a friend on five consecutive days at his vacation home in Tusculum. It is the great Roman compilation of Greek moral philosophy. This French language edition was considered the very best translation of it's day. ‎
