Description

Cicero's The Republic and The Laws is a collection of philosophical works that explore the nature of politics, justice, and governance. Written by Marcus Tullius Cicero, these dialogues draw on Greek political theory to examine the qualities needed in a statesman and the ideal code for a reformed society. The work consists of two parts: The Republic, which presents an impassioned plea for responsible government; and The Laws, which expounds the influential doctrine of Natural Law. This translation brings together these two works for the first time in over sixty years, featuring a lucid introduction, notes on the Roman constitution, and an index of names. For readers interested in classical philosophy, politics, or history, this collection offers a unique insight into the thought of one of Rome's most influential thinkers.
