| Why it’s on the list | A Penguin Classics selection of Cicero’s writings on how to live — friendship, duty, old age, public service, the honourable against the expedient — written in the last decade of his life as the Republic collapsed around him. Broadly Stoic but practical: philosophy is for use, and the good life is lived in the city, by a writer who was both philosopher and working politician. |
