"Cicero's Tusculan Disputations" by Marcus Tullius Cicero is a philosophical exploration from ancient Rome where the author grapples with profound questions about death, happiness, and virtue through a series of engaging dialogues. Triggered by personal loss, Cicero seeks to ease anxieties about death by suggesting it shouldn't be an evil, diving into beliefs about life and morality with his friends. Using questions and discussion, Cicero and his companions challenge common ideas about death and suffering, setting the stage for further discussions on key philosophical concepts.
