It is evident the need to fall back on the process of self-construction contained in Ciceronian letters, in order to reach an understanding about the limits of Cicero-author, Cicero-character and Cicero idealized by the very rhetorical and especially ornamented nature of his speech. The central interest of this study is to promote an analysis of part of the letters considering the perspective of Foucault's understandings about parresia, particularly seeking to unify the letters in such a way that they become a philosophical exercise of self-effacement, self-analysis, search for knowledge and still stand as a true practice of telling the truth and seeking advice. To reach such intentions, a bibliographic review will be used methodologically to promote an exploratory, theoretical, descriptive and qualitative study. The present thesis is organized in two main chapters: the first one about Foucaultian theories and thoughts on truth and parrhesia; the second one on roman literature and Ciceronian style and finally an analysis of the letters.
