Overcoming Uncertainty in Ancient Greek Political Philosophy makes
an historical and theoretical contribution by explaining the role
of opinion in ancient Greek political philosophy, showing its
importance for Aristotle's theory of deliberation, and indicating a
new model for a deliberative republic. Currently, there are no
studies of opinion in ancient Greek political theory and so the
book breaks new historical ground. The book establishes that
opinion is key for the political theories of Plato, Aristotle, and
the Stoics because each sees uncertainty as a problem that needs to
be overcome if one is to establish a virtuous polity. Since they
have different notions of the nature of the uncertainty of opinion,
they develop very different political strategies to overcome it.
The book explains that Plato's and the Stoics' analyses of
uncertainty support oligarchy and monarchy, respectively, and that
theoretical support for deliberate politics requires a more nuanced
understanding of uncertainty that only Aristotle provides.
