Cicero's Treatise On The Nature Of The Gods is a philosophical work written by the Roman statesman and orator, Marcus Tullius Cicero. The book explores the nature of the gods and their relationship with humanity, drawing upon the ideas of Greek and Roman philosophers. The work is divided into three parts, each of which presents a different perspective on the gods. The first part discusses the Epicurean view that the gods do not interfere in human affairs and are not concerned with human morality. The second part presents the Stoic view that the gods are active in the world and are responsible for the order and harmony of the universe. The third part presents Cicero's own views on the gods, which draw upon both the Epicurean and Stoic perspectives. The book is an important work of Roman philosophy and has influenced later thinkers such as Augustine and Aquinas. This edition of the book is translated by C. D. Yonge.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
