What does it mean to act rightly in everyday life? How are our choices connected to ourselves, others, and the world around us? In On Duties, Hierocles approaches these questions in a direct and practical way, turning philosophy into a guide for life.

Duty is not presented as a burden or imposed obligation, but as a natural expression of human rationality. Through simple yet profound reflections, the work shows how right action is born from understanding oneself and our relationships with others. Morality is not imposed from outside; it is cultivated from within, as a way of life.

This translation aims to bring the ancient text closer to the modern reader, with clear language and respect for the meaning of the original. On Duties is addressed to anyone seeking an applicable philosophy, capable of illuminating small and large decisions in daily life.
