Cato Maior Et Laelius (1895) is a book written by the famous Roman philosopher and orator, Marcus Tullius Cicero. The book is a dialogue between two of Cicero's friends, Cato the Elder and Laelius, in which they discuss various philosophical and ethical issues related to aging, friendship, and the nature of the good life. The first part of the book focuses on Cato's views on aging and the importance of living a virtuous life. He argues that old age should not be seen as a time of decline, but rather as an opportunity to reflect on one's life and to continue to pursue wisdom and virtue. In the second part of the book, Laelius and Cato discuss the nature of friendship and the qualities that make a good friend. They argue that true friendship is based on mutual respect, trust, and a shared commitment to virtue. Throughout the book, Cicero uses the dialogue format to explore complex philosophical ideas in a clear and accessible way. The book is considered a classic of Roman literature and a valuable source for understanding ancient Roman thought and culture.This Book Is In English.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
