De Officiis: Libri Tres [Latin]

By Hubert Ashton Holden

De Officiis (On Duties) is a treatise by Marcus Tullius Cicero, written in 44 BC. It outlines Cicero's conception of the ideal ethical code and its practical application to daily life and civic responsibility. Addressed to his son Marcus, who was studying philosophy in Athens, the work explores the concepts of virtue, duty, and the common good within the context of Roman society and politics.

This edition, "Libri Tres," presents the complete three books of Cicero's original text in Latin, offering scholars and students an invaluable resource for understanding Roman philosophy and rhetoric. Hubert Ashton Holden's work provides a faithful rendering of Cicero's masterpiece, allowing readers to engage with the foundational ideas that have shaped Western ethical thought for centuries. "De Officiis" remains a cornerstone of classical literature and continues to inspire reflection on the principles of moral conduct.
