1. On Living And Dying Well
A philosophical dialogue that counsels readers on how to meet aging and death with dignity, arguing that a life of virtue, rational reflection, and active friendship makes old age fulfilling and removes the sting of death; through moral examples and reasoned argument it rejects fear of death, urges preparation by philosophic cultivation, and portrays a well-ordered life in which public service, self-mastery, and supportive bonds sustain meaning to the end.

2. Stoacıların Paradoksları Paradoxa Stoicorum
This short work sets out and defends a series of Stoic paradoxes, arguing against common opinion that virtue alone is the true good and vice the only evil; that virtue is sufficient for happiness and that all virtues are essentially one; that genuine freedom and wealth belong to the wise regardless of external circumstances; and that it is better to suffer wrongdoing than to commit it. Presented in a concise, rhetorical style, the text uses examples and argument to make Stoic moral principles clear and persuasive to readers.
