Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This new translation makes one of the most important texts in ancient philosophy freshly available to modern readers. Cicero was an intelligent and well-educated amateur philosopher, and in this work he presents the major ethical theories of his time in a way designed to get the reader philosophically engaged in the important debates. Raphael Woolf's translation does justice to Cicero's argumentative vigour as well as to the philosophical ideas involved, while Julia Annas' introduction and notes provide a clear and accessible explanation of the philosophical context of the work.

Rated by buyers -
Read the translation before the introduction. Woolf's translation is smooth and smart; the "general reader" is unlikely to appreciate the introduction, at least on very first reading. It's written almost exclusively for those with a real penchant for ancient philosophy. It's organized in an infuriating way, and is slightly flat-footed in its use of language.
