Greek And Roman Political Ideas : A Pelican Introduction
Paperback Edition: 2014
Where do our ideas about politics come from?
What can we learn from the Greeks and Romans? What should we exercise power?
In Greek and Roman Political Ideas, acclaimed classics scholar Melissa Lane introduces the reader to the foundations of Western political thought, from the Greeks, who invented democracy, to the Romans, who created a republic and then transformed it into an empire. Tracing the origins of political philosophy from Socrates to Cicero to Plutarch, Lane reminds us that the birth of politics was as much a story of individuals as ideas.
