Edited by Michael Gant
Published by The Folio Society: London 2003
"Cicero: On The Good Life, edited by Michael Grant and published by The Folio Society in 2003, presents a refined selection of Cicero's philosophical writings that explore the moral and ethical foundations of a virtuous and contented life. Drawing from key works such as On Friendship, On Duties, and On the Orator, Cicero's essays blend Stoic, Academic, and Roman traditions to examine themes of happiness, integrity, justice, and civic responsibility. His reflections reveal how moral virtue and intellectual cultivation together form the true basis of "the good life," offering a timeless dialogue on the duties of the individual within society.
This Folio Society edition, handsomely bound and printed with scholarly care, includes an insightful introduction by Michael Grant that situates Cicero's thought within the broader context of Roman philosophy and politics. The volume appeals to readers of classical literature, students of philosophy, and collectors who appreciate elegantly produced editions that combine historical depth with enduring moral wisdom."
