This well-preserved copy of John Higginbotham’s “CICERO On Moral Obligation” offers a window into the philosophical foundations of Western ethics. Originally published in 1967, this translation presents Cicero’s seminal work “De Officiis” (On Duties), a treatise that draws upon the teachings of the ancient Greek philosophers to outline a system of moral conduct. As one of Rome’s greatest orators and thinkers, Cicero’s influence on Western thought cannot be overstated. His writings on ethics, politics, and philosophy shaped the ideals of the Roman Republic and continue to resonate today. This edition provides readers with Cicero’s timeless wisdom on virtue, justice, and the moral obligations that bind a society together. A treasured addition to any collection exploring the origins of Western ethical thought.
