De Amicitia, also known as On Friendship, is a philosophical treatise written by the ancient Roman statesman and orator, Marcus Tullius Cicero, in 44 BC. This book is a reflection on the nature of friendship and its importance in human life. Cicero draws on the wisdom of Greek philosophers to argue that true friendship is based on virtue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to the common good. He explores the different types of friendship, the qualities of a good friend, and the benefits of friendship for personal happiness and social harmony. The book is written in a conversational style and is addressed to his close friend, Atticus. It is considered one of the most influential works on friendship in Western literature and has inspired many subsequent writers and thinkers. This 1901 edition of De Amicitia features an introduction by Andrew P. Peabody and a translation by William Armistead Falconer.This Book Is In English.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
