About pain, grief and death

This collection included the majority of purely philosophical (without impurity) of Cicero's treatises, the texts of which, fortunately for us, have been preserved entirely or with very small passes. The form of dialogs or meetings of letters written in the formal form of dialogs (the conventional “addressee” of which in this case is the son of Ciceron Mark), they fully express the unbending, almost Puritan moral and ethical principles of the author-the first galaxy of the great geniuses of the Roman Stoic tradition that continued and in many ways changing the Greek stoicism.
