De Officiis, or On Duties, is a treatise by Marcus Tullius Cicero outlining his conception of moral duty and proper conduct. Written in 44 BC, it consists of three books addressing what is morally right, what is expedient, and how to reconcile conflicting claims between them. Drawing on Greek Stoic philosophers, Cicero emphasizes virtue, reason, and the common good as the foundations of ethical behavior. This edition, De Officiis Libri Tres, includes notes in English specifically designed for young students, making Cicero's profound insights accessible to a new generation. Cicero's work remains a cornerstone of Western ethical thought, offering timeless guidance on leading a virtuous and fulfilling life. This edition provides invaluable assistance for students encountering Cicero's Latin prose and philosophical arguments.
