Description

A clear and accurate exposition of Greek political thought. In addition to extensive, point-by-point discussions of the "Republic" and the "Politics", it provides critical examinations of the origin of these ideas in the Greek political experience and in the contributions of other thinkers (Socrates and the pre-Socratics; Heraclitus, Pythagoras and other Sophists; the Cyrenaics; the Encyclopaedists); full coverage of Aristotle's "Ethics" and of the most crucial of the Platonic "Dialogues"; and considerations of how Greek ideas were later modified by Aquinas, Marsilio of Padua, Machiavelli, Spinoza, Hobbes, Rousseau and Hegel.
