Paradoxa Stoicorum
Book • 46
In 'Paradoxa Stoicorum', Cicero examines six Stoic paradoxes, including the ideas that virtue is the only good, all good deeds are equally virtuous, and only the wise are free.
Written in 46 BC, this work is a rhetorical exercise aimed at presenting Stoic arguments in a more accessible form.
Cicero's approach is to use popular arguments and historical anecdotes to defend these paradoxes, despite not fully endorsing them as serious philosophical positions.
