On Duties (De Officiis)
Three books to his son Marcus: moral goodness, expediency, and the conflict between the two
Translated by Walter Miller (1913)
Cicero's last major work, written in 44 BC for his son Marcus, then studying at Athens: a Stoic-inspired guide to what is morally right, what is expedient, and how to choose when the two seem to clash. Walter Miller's translation for the Loeb Classical Library, with the chapter numbers kept as plain leading numbers.
