Beginning already in the Homeric poems and Hesiod, Greek and later Roman poets and philosophers reflected constantly on ideas about justice, government and the rule of law. This tradition reached its zenith in the great works of 4th century Athens, Plato's Republic and Aristotle's Politics, but also includes the historical works of Herodotus, Thucydides, and Tacitus; the political oratory of Demosthenes and Cicero; the essays of Plutarch and Seneca; and the theory implicit in the workings of the Athenian democracy, the Spartan state, the Roman republic and empire.This Companion provides a broad overview of ancient political thought with both a normative and a historical focus. It helps students to understand the great works of ancient political philosophy on their own terms, while also identifying the contemporary conversations in which they are involved.

"The notions of the cosmic city and the common law are central to early Stoic political thought. As Katja Maria Vogt shows, together they make up one complex theory. A city is a place governed by the law. Yet only the law pervading the cosmos can be considered a true law, and thus the cosmos is the only real city. A city is also a dwelling-place - in the case of the cosmos, the dwelling-place of all human beings. The thought that we should view all other human beings as belonging to "our city" is at the heart of Stoic cosmopolitanism. All human beings are citizens of the cosmic city in the sense of living in the world." "As Vogt shows, political philosophy is central to early Stoic philosophy, and is deeply tied to the Stoics' conceptions of reason and wisdom. Vogt's argument is broad in scope: She explores the Stoics' idea of the cosmic city, their notion of citizen-gods, and their account of the law. Her work will interest scholars and students of the Stoics as well as those of political theory and philosophy."--BOOK JACKET.
