This book is a detailed but accessible treatment of the political
thought of John of Salisbury, a twelfth-century author and
educationalist who rose from a modest background to become Bishop
of Chartres. It shows how aspects of John's thought - such as his
views on political cooperation and virtuous rulership - were
inspired by the writings of Roman philosophers, notably Cicero and
Seneca. Investigating how John accessed and adapted the classics,
the book argues that he developed a hybrid political philosophy by
taking elements from Roman Stoic sources and combining them with
insights from patristic writings. By situating his ideas in their
political and intellectual context, it offers a reassessment of
John's political thought, as well as a case study in classical
reception of relevance to students and scholars of political
philosophy and the history of ideas. -- .
