Excerpt from Des Suprèmes Biens Et des Suprèmes Maux: Traduction Desmarais, Revue Avec Introduction Et Notes

Les épicuriens divisaient la philosophie en trois par ties la morale indique à l'homme sa fin; la physique ou physiologie sert à confirmer la morale, et montre qu'il n'y a dans la nature extérieure nul obstacle qui empèche l'homme d'atteindre cette fin; en troisieme lieu, la logique ou canonique, venant compléter la phy sique et la morale, enseigne à juger de toute vérité par le témoignage infaillible des sens. La morale in dique ainsi à l'homme où est le bonheur; la physique enlève en quelque sorte tous les obstacles extérieurs qui pourraient empècher la réalisation de ce bonheur; la logique, enfin, supprime tout obstacle intérieur, en supprimant l'erreur et en faisant connaître à tous la vérité.

About the author (2017)

Born in Arpinum on January 3, 106 B.C., Marcus Tullius Cicero was a Roman orator, writer, and politician. In Rome, Cicero studied law, oratory, philosophy, and literature, before embarking on a political career. Banished from Rome in 59 B.C. for the execution of some members of the Catiline group, Cicero devoted himself to literature. Cicero was pardoned by Julius Caesar in 47 B.C., and returned to Rome to deliver his famous speeches, known as the "Philippics," urging the senate to declare war on Marc Antony. Cicero's chief works, written between 46 and 44 B.C., can be classified in the categories of philosophical works, letters, and speeches. The letters, edited by his secretary Tiro, showcase a unique writing style and charm. The most popular work of the period was De Officiis, a manual of ethics, in which Cicero espoused fundamental Christian values half a century before Christ. Cicero was murdered in Formiae, Italy, on December 4, 43 B.C., by Antony's soldiers after the triumvirate of Antony, Lepidus, and Octavius was formed.
