Cicero: On Duties (De Officiis) in toki pona: — with sitelen pona (Stoic Wisdom in Toki Pona) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Cicero’s On Duties is a practical manual for moral decision-making — written for real life: promises, reputation, money, public service, friendships, temptation, and pressure.

This edition reimagines the text in toki pona, the minimalist language built to express meaning with a tiny core vocabulary. The result is a calmer, lower-noise read: fewer words, clearer choices, less room for self-deception.

What makes this edition different (and why it exists):
• Original toki pona translation created for this publication
• Two-layer reading format: toki pona (Latin script) + the same lines repeated for sitelen pona
• Public-domain English reference text included for meaning verification and comparison
• A phrase-focused glossary built around recurring “anchor formulas” (not a basic word list)
• Editorial structure and book design made for slow, daily reading

Book I focuses on moral rightness and the “virtue map.”
Book II tests “useful” choices: wealth, influence, work, favors, public life.
Book III is the stress test: when the honorable and the useful seem to conflict.

This is a calm, practical book about attention, integrity, and stable action — made sharper by a language that forces you to simplify what you think you mean.
