Cicero's Three Books of Offices: Or Moral Duties is a classic work of philosophy originally written by the Roman statesman and philosopher Marcus Tullius Cicero in the 1st century BC. This 1882 edition of the book includes a translation by Cyrus R. Edmonds, an introduction by William P. Dickson, and notes by George Stuart Fullerton.The book is divided into three sections, each of which explores different aspects of moral duty and virtue. The first book discusses the principles of ethics and the nature of moral obligation, while the second book examines the various virtues that are necessary for a good life, such as wisdom, courage, justice, and piety. The third and final book focuses on the practical application of these virtues in everyday life, covering topics such as friendship, family relationships, and civic duty.Throughout the book, Cicero draws on a wide range of sources from Greek and Roman philosophy, literature, and history, as well as his own personal experience as a statesman and lawyer. He argues that the pursuit of virtue and moral duty is not only necessary for personal happiness and fulfillment but also essential for the well-being of society as a whole.Overall, Cicero's Three Books of Offices is a timeless and influential work that continues to be studied and admired by philosophers, scholars, and general readers alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
