Cicero, Politics, and the 21st Century addresses the West's current
crisis of confidence. Reflecting on how the famed Roman
philosopher-statesmen Marcus Tullius Cicero thought and acted in a
time of great turbulence in the ancient world, this book offers
lessons to 21st century students of politics and statesmen alike.
Cicero's example shows that the survival of liberal democracy
requires us to recover a sense of nobility in politics - a balance
of power, honour, and justice with the pursuit of truth for the
common good. Cicero, Politics, and the 21st Century brings the
reader into the dirty politics of the late Roman Republic and tells
how Cicero rose to the top in this environment. He managed to work
with people who were often diametrically opposed to him, juggling
different power blocks and interest groups, while trying to
implement reforms, all at a time when the state apparatus and
public consensus holding the Republic together were breaking down.
Cicero was able to attain power, all the while maintaining his
integrity and advancing the interests of his people. Additionally,
Cicero and his time bring much needed perspective to our political
thinking by enabling us to examine events through a prism of
assumptions different from those we have inherited from the turmoil
of the 20th century.
