About this product
Product Information
De Officiis (On Duties) was Cicero's last philosophical work. In it he made use of Greek thought to formulate the political and ethical values of Roman Republican society as he saw them, revealing incidentally a great deal about actual practice. Writing at a time of political crisis after the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44BC, when it was not clear how much of the old Republican order would survive, Cicero here handed on the insights of an elder statesman, adept at political theory and practice, to his son, and through him, to the younger generation in general. De Officiis has often been treated merely as a key to the lost Greek works that Cicero used. This volume aims to render De Officiis, which was such an important influence on later masterpieces of Western political thought, more intelligible by explaining its relation to its own time and place. A wholly new translation is accompanied by a lucid introduction and all the standard features of Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought, including a chronology, select bibliography, and notes on the vocabulary and significant individuals mentioned in the text.

- v***v (20)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI bought it for my mum's birthday and she loves it. It has good information and images explaining things in excellent detail. It arrived well packaged and in new condition as advertised. Simplybestprices was the cheapest I found on the internet, so I went with them. The only negative was with the shipping, not the product. I ordered in Dec 2024 and it took many weeks before getting shipping details and then the delivery date kept changing and moving later. It eventuallly arrived early Feb.Landscape in Ink and Coloured Pencil by Hanson, Helen [Paperback] (#186378092996)
- r***e (120)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseItem arrived as described. Packaging was terrible for shipping a record from Australia to the United States in a super thin flimsy piece of cardboard envelope with no other protection. Amazingly arrived undamaged. Took 23 days for the item to arrive after purchase, hence their 10to20dayshippimg in their seller name.
