Did they know the end was upon them, in those last days? Did they know that they were living in the scant few remaining years of peace left before a civilisation that had lasted beyond all memory finally collapsed, conquered by a foe that was stronger, more vital, less complacent? The only answer that reason affords is that no, they could not have known, though we know now that they must have been warned, if only in the oblique manner of the prophets of doom. Yet how could they interpret such prophecy? How could any one person, bereft of the knowledge bitter hindsight has granted us, possibly have guessed what was about to happen?These are the stories of the last years of an Empire, of the political wrangling, the skirmishes, the thousand tiny signs that maybe, somehow, things were not as they seemed. These are the last legends of the last hours of an age now lost to history. This is a compilation of short stories set in the Oracle Universe.
A prolific philosopher who also held Rome's highest political office, Cicero was uniquely qualified to write on political philosophy. In this book Professor Atkins provides a fresh interpretation of Cicero's central political dialogues - the Republic and Laws. Devoting careful attention to form as well as philosophy, Atkins argues that these dialogues together probe the limits of reason in political affairs and explore the resources available to the statesman given these limitations. He shows how Cicero appropriated and transformed Plato's thought to forge original and important works of political philosophy. The book demonstrates that Cicero's Republic and Laws are critical for understanding the history of the concepts of rights, the mixed constitution and natural law. It concludes by comparing Cicero's thought to the modern conservative tradition and argues that Cicero provides a perspective on utopia frequently absent from current philosophical treatments.
What can the Romans teach us about politics? This thematic introduction to Roman political thought shows how the Roman world developed political ideas of lasting significance, from the consequential constitutional notions of the separation of powers, political legitimacy, and individual rights to key concepts in international relations, such as imperialism, just war theory, and cosmopolitanism. Jed W. Atkins relates these and many other important ideas to Roman republicanism, traces their evolution across all major periods of Roman history, and describes Christianity's important contributions to their development. Using the politics and political thought of the United States as a case study, he argues that the relevance of Roman political thought for modern liberal democracies lies in the profound mixture of ideas both familiar and foreign to us that shape and enliven Roman republicanism. Accessible to students and non-specialists, this book provides an invaluable guide to Roman political thought and its enduring legacies.
