This book, first published in 2000, is a general and comprehensive treatment of the political thought of ancient Greece and Rome. It begins with Homer and ends in late antiquity with Christian and pagan reflections on divine and human order. In between come studies of Plato, Aristotle and a host of other major and minor thinkers - poets, historians, philosophers - whose individuality is brought out by extensive quotation. The international team of distinguished scholars assembled by the editors includes historians of law, politics, culture and religion, and also philosophers. Some chapters focus mostly on the ancient context of the ideas they are examining, while others explore these ideas as systems of thought which resonate with modern or perennial concerns. This clearly written volume will long remain an accessible and authoritative guide to Greek and Roman thinking about government and community.… (meer)
This seems like a pretty complete introduction to political thought in classical antiquity. Every essay is of high quality and together they provide a balanced overview of the subject. Several essays also indicate how ancient lines of thought differed from modern political ideas and how fragmentary our knowledge of political thought and practice in antiquity still is. Lots of good references are also given for those who want to explore this topic further.
