Cicero's book, Paradoxa Stoicorum, classified elements of life that are good (broken down into righteousness, intrinsic honor or nobility, and intrinsic virtue), and ones that are not good; for example, material objects such as money and houses are not genuinely good but appear good to many.
The Paradoxa Stoicorum (English: Stoic Paradoxes) is a work by the Academic Skeptic philosopher Cicero in which he attempts to explain six famous Stoic sayings that appear to go against common understanding. In this book Cicero presents the Stoic classifications of what elements of life are genuinely good, and what elements are not good. There are three different qualities of something being genuinely good: righteousness (rectum), intrinsic honor or nobility (honestum), and intrinsic virtue (cum virtute). Worldly desires and material objects such as power, money, houses, Corinthian vases, and fine furnishings are not necessarily genuinely good, and are spurious or apparent goods called forth by the many.
