Cicero's Tusculan Disputations by Marcus Tullius Cicero
"Cicero's Tusculan Disputations" by Marcus Tullius Cicero is a philosophical work written around 45 BC. Composed while mourning his daughter's death, Cicero presents five dialogues exploring fundamental questions of human existence: conquering the fear of death, enduring pain, alleviating sorrow, managing emotional turmoil, and determining whether virtue alone ensures happiness. Drawing heavily on Greek philosophy, particularly Stoicism, Cicero crafts persuasive arguments that challenge conventional views on suffering and fortune, offering timeless wisdom
for fortifying the mind against life's inevitable hardships. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
