Description: Cicero attempts to give meaning to the painful experience of exile in De domo sua by appealing to philosophies outside of Stoicism. In his Post reditum speeches and writings composed after Paradoxa Stoicorum he attempts to render meaningless the established values of the aristocracy, and urges those of the anti-Caesarian opposition who still survive in exile to retain their moral superiority.
