This collection deals with utopias in the Greek and Roman worlds.
Plato is the first and foremost name that comes to mind and,
accordingly, 3 chapters (J. Annas; D. El Murr; A. Hazistavrou) are
devoted to his various approaches to utopia in the Republic,
Timaeus and Laws. But this volume's central vocation and
originality comes from our taking on that theme in many other
philosophical authors and literary genres. The philosophers include
Aristotle (Ch. Horn) but also Cynics (S. Husson), Stoics (G.
Reydams-Schils) and Cicero (S. McConnell). Other literary genres
include comedic works from Aristophanes up to Lucian (G. Sissa; S.
Kidd; N.I. Kuin) and history from Herodotus up to Diodorus Siculus
(T. Lockwood; C. Atack; I. Sulimani). A last comparative chapter is
devoted to utopias in Ancient China (D. Engels).
