Tusculanarum Disputationum Libri Quinque, or Tusculan Disputations, is a series of five books by Marcus Tullius Cicero, in which he discusses various aspects of happiness and how to achieve it. Written around 45 BC, these dialogues explore topics such as the contempt of death, the alleviation of pain, grief, and mental disturbances, and the question of whether virtue alone is sufficient for a happy life.

Cicero draws upon Greek philosophical traditions, particularly Stoicism, to present arguments and counter-arguments, engaging in lively debates with his interlocutors. This edition includes variant readings of Johann August Ernesti, making it a valuable resource for scholars and students of classical philosophy and Latin literature. The enduring appeal of Tusculan Disputations lies in its timeless exploration of fundamental human concerns, offering insights into the pursuit of happiness and the cultivation of inner resilience.
