Synopsis

In this text, the shortest of his philosophical works, Cicero analyzes the statements of Stoicism that are " paradoxical" : " Only what is honest is good" ,
" It is enough to be virtuous to achieve happiness" , ' Good deeds are as good as bad deeds are bad' , and ' All fools are mad, just as only the wise are rich and free' .
Using his gifts as an orator, the author develops each paradox in a clear and structured way. Garnishing his exposition with examples and a certain humor, he intends to bring his message closer to all readers and to make us reflect on the value of good and virtue.
As Voltaire maintained, " nothing wiser, truer, or more useful" has been written after this treatise.
