      abstract = {Overcoming Uncertainty in Ancient Greek Political  Philosophy makes an historical and theoretical contribution  by explaining the role of opinion in ancient Greek  political philosophy, showing its importance for  Aristotle's theory of deliberation, and indicating a new  model for a deliberative republic. Currently, there are no  studies of opinion in ancient Greek political theory and so  the book breaks new historical ground. The book establishes  that opinion is key for the political theories of Plato,  Aristotle, and the Stoics because each sees uncertainty as  a problem that needs to be overcome if one is to establish  a virtuous polity. Since they have different notions of the  nature of the uncertainty of opinion, they develop very  different political strategies to overcome it. The book  explains that Plato's and the Stoics' analyses of  uncertainty support oligarchy and monarchy, respectively,  and that theoretical support for deliberate politics  requires a more nuanced understanding of uncertainty that  only Aristotle provides.},
