The Republic and The Laws

Meer over het boek

Cicero's political writings delve into the intricacies of Roman governance and legal philosophy. In "The Republic," he engages in a Socratic dialogue that examines the history, constitution, and ideals of justice within Roman politics, while also addressing the role of education and the concept of the ideal citizen. "The Laws" further explores natural law and social harmony through another dialogue. Though incomplete, these texts provide valuable insights into Cicero's political philosophy and the early foundations of democratic ideals in Western thought, presented in a quality translation.
