The Cambridge History of Greek and Roman Political Thought (The Cambridge History of Political Thought)

This first comprehensive treatment of the political thought of ancient Greece and Rome to be published in English begins with Homer and ends in late antiquity. It discusses Plato, Aristotle and a host of other thinkers. It includes chapters which focus on the ancient context of the ideas they examine and others which explore these ideas as systems of thought resonating with modern concerns. Written by a team of distinguished scholars, this volume will long remain an accessible and authoritative guide to Greek and Roman thinking about government and community.
