About This Book

Teksti esittää filosofisen keskustelun, jossa vanha ja kokenut puhuja sekä hänen tuttavansa tutkivat ystävyyden luonnetta, ehtoja ja tarkoitusta. Puheissa eritellään, mitkä hyveet tekevät ystävyydestä kestävän, verrataan aitoa ystävyyttä hyötyyhteyksiin ja pohditaan luottamuksen, lojaaliuden ja yhteisten arvojen merkitystä. Rakenteeltaan teos yhdistää muistelmamaisia esimerkkejä ja loogisia argumentteja, tarjoten käytännön havainnollistuksia sekä eettisiä yleispätevyyksiä ystävyyden säilymisestä eri elämänvaiheissa.

About the Author

Cicero, Marcus Tullius portrait

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BCE) was a Roman statesman, orator, and philosopher whose works have significantly influenced Western thought. Known for his mastery of rhetoric, Cicero's writings cover a range of topics including philosophy, politics, and ethics. His notable works include "Academica," which explores the nature of knowledge, and "De Officiis," a treatise on moral duties. Cicero's letters, particularly those to his friend Atticus, provide valuable insights into the political landscape of the late Roman Republic. His speeches, such as those against Catilina, showcase his skills as a public speaker and advocate for the Republic.
