Cicero/The Republic and The Laws
Number of pages:
7
ABSTRACT:
A 7 page book review that addresses Cicero's The Republic and The Laws. Cicero's The Republic can be viewed as the "culmination of pagan thinking" regarding political theory and, specifically, the organization of the Roman state (Powell x). Then, in its sequel, The Laws, Cicero expounds on the doctrine of Natural Law, setting out an ideal legal code for his vision of a reformed Roman Republic. Collectively, these two books, which have been combined into one text in the volume to be reviewed, present the philosophical culmination of Rome's greatest political philosopher and statesman. Examination of these texts reveals why the works of Cicero have been influential throughout history and remain relevant today. No additional sources cited.
