`However one defines Man, the same definition applies to us all.
This is sufficient proof that there is no essential difference
within mankind.' (Laws l.29-30) Cicero's The Republic is an
impassioned plea for responsible governement written just before
the civil war that ended the Roman Republic in a dialogue following
Plato. Drawing on Greek political theory, the work embodies the
mature reflections of a Roman ex-consul on the nature of political
organization, on justice in society, and on the qualities needed in
a statesman. Its sequel, The Laws, expounds the influential
doctrine of Natural Law, which applies to all mankind, and sets out
an ideal code for a reformed Roman Republic, already half in the
realm of utopia. This is the first complete English translation of
both works for over sixty years and features a lucid Introduction,
a Table of Dates, notes on the Roman constitution, and an Index of
Names. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics
has made available the widest range of literature from around the
globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to
scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of
other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading
authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date
bibliographies for further study, and much more.
