Liberty: Ancient Ideas and Modern Perspectives is the first study
of the ancient notions of liberty in the interconnected societies
of the Ancient Near East, Greece, Rome, and Byzantium and how they
relate to modern political theory. This volume gathers the work of
historians of antiquity, whose specialisms are geographically and
temporally diverse, together with political theorists and legal and
political philosophers interested in conceptions of liberty.
Together they discuss the rival understandings of liberty in
antiquity and the potential offerings of these ancient societies to
our contemporary intellectual world. This book aims to broaden our
understanding of the conceptual articulations of liberty in the
ancient world, from beyond the Graeco-Roman world to other ancient
societies to which this world was connected; and to shed light on
rival understandings of liberty in antiquity and the role these
might play in the current thinking about this concept. The chapters
in this book were originally published as a special issue of the
journal, History of European Ideas.
