Cicero's Tusculan Disputations is a collection of philosophical dialogues written by the Roman statesman and philosopher, Marcus Tullius Cicero, in the first century BC. The book is divided into five parts, each of which deals with a different topic related to the pursuit of happiness and the nature of the human soul. In addition to the Tusculan Disputations, this edition also includes two other treatises by Cicero: On the Nature of the Gods and On the Commonwealth. The former is a discussion of various philosophical theories about the existence and nature of the gods, while the latter is a political treatise that explores the ideal form of government and the duties of a good citizen. Translated into English by Charles Duke Yonge in 1888, this edition provides readers with an accessible and comprehensive introduction to Cicero's philosophical thought. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in ancient philosophy, Roman history, or the development of Western thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
