Tusculanae disputationes

The Tusculan Disputations, written by Cicero around 45 BC, is a series of five dialogues that delve into various philosophical questions.

The work addresses the nature of death, the endurance of pain, the management of grief, the control of emotions, and whether virtue alone is sufficient for a happy life.

It reflects Cicero's engagement with Stoic philosophy and his personal grief following the death of his daughter, Tullia.
