Description
Book SynopsisCicero is one of the most influential thinkers in the history of Western political thought, and interest in his work has been undergoing a renaissance in recent years.
The Ciceronian Tradition in Political Theory focuses entirely on Cicero's influence and reception in the realm of political thought.
Trade ReviewKapust and Remer have collected a set of essays that justify the current revival of philosophical interest in Cicero by demonstrating his importance to major medieval and modern political thinkers. The comprehensive nature of Cicero's political philosophy is manifest in this fine book."" - David Fott, University of Nevada, Las Vegas
""This collection offers its readers substantive and incisive essays about the complicated topic of the reception of Cicero by the subsequent tradition of political theory. Taken singly, the essays give us profound introductions to how the greatest individual authors in the tradition struggled with the massive shadow cast by Cicero on the politics of the Western world. Taken as a whole, the collection gives us a profound introduction to Cicero's extensive legacy within the Western political experience."" - Douglas Kries, Gonzaga University
