Meer over het boek

Focusing on the philosophical concept of duty, Cicero delves into moral obligations and the importance of acting in accordance with societal and personal responsibilities. The book is structured in three parts: the first emphasizes moral duty to society, the second connects duty with self-interest, and the third examines natural law's relation to duty. This timeless treatise remains relevant in modern discussions of philosophy and ethics, offering insights into the nature of obligation and the moral framework guiding human actions.
