On Living and Dying Well

Cicero
Marcus Tullius Cicero, orator, statesman and defender of Republican values, might well have been surprised by his posthumous success as a philosopher. During his lifetime he considered philosophy an honourable undertaking, at times even describing it as a prerequisite for effective citizenship. But in his view it was never to be the primary occupation of a free person, whose chief responsibility was to defend and augment the public good. He composed his philosophical treatises only during the periods of his life when political engagement seemed dangerous, immoral or impossible. Their hasty, distracted composition is sometimes evident; despite their high literary value, they lack the stylistic finish of his best speeches.
