Summary
Marcus Tullius Cicero: On the extremes of good and evil
De finibus bonorum et malorum (on the extremes of good and evil) is a philosophical treatise written by the famous Roman orator Marcus Tullius Cicero.
The search for the "ultimate goal" - that is, what man should desire from life not as a means to another goal, but as the highest goal - is of exceptional importance in the ancient philosophers. It was believed that the choice of the true ultimate goal will give a person, a student of philosophy, a direction of movement in which he can get closer and closer to absolute virtue, that is, God.
