Series 117) [Paperback]
Robert T. Radford (Author)
Publication Date:
January 1, 2002 | Series: Value Inquiry Book
This book presents Cicero's
natural law theory, including valuable definitions of the state, the ideal
state, the ideal ruler, and the laws for the ideal state. Explanations are
offered of the Greek sources of Cicero's republican philosophy, his influence on
the Principate of Augustus, and his role in the development of modern political
philosophy. "As all the ages of the world have not produced a greater statesman
and philosopher united than Cicero, his authority should have great weight"
(John Adams, 1787).
