In this book Professor Atkins provides a fresh interpretation of Cicero's central political dialogues - the Republic and Laws. Devoting careful attention to form as well as philosophy, Atkins argues that these dialogues together probe the limits of reason in political affairs and explore the resources available to the statesman given these limitations. He shows how Cicero appropriated and transformed Plato's thought to forge original and important works of political philosophy. The book demonstrates that Cicero's Republic and Laws are critical for understanding the history of the concepts of rights, the mixed constitution and natural law. It concludes by comparing Cicero's thought to the modern conservative tradition and argues that Cicero provides a perspective on utopia frequently absent from current philosophical treatments"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000918393 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000918393 60010 $$aCicero, Marcus Tullius$$xPolitical and social views. 000918393 650_0 $$aPolitical science$$zRome$$xHistory. 000918393 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aAtkins, Jed W.$$tCicero on politics and the limits of reason : the republic and laws.$$dCambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2013$$z9781107043589$$w(DLC) 2013012187 000918393 852__ $$bebk 000918393 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete $$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1543644$$zOnline Access 000918393 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:918393$$pGLOBAL_SET 000918393 980__ $$aEBOOK 000918393 980__ $$aBIB 000918393 982__ $$aEbook 000918393 983__ $$aOnline
