Publisher Description
What is politics?
What are the origins of political philosophy?
What can we learn from the Greeks and Romans?
In Greek and Roman Political Ideas, acclaimed classics scholar Melissa Lane introduces the reader to the foundations of Western political thought, from the Greeks, who invented democracy, to the Romans, who created a republic and then transformed it into an empire. Tracing the origins of political philosophy from Socrates to Cicero to Plutarch, Lane reminds us that the birth of politics was as much a story of individuals as ideas.

Well done pelican looking forward to-getting a few of these titles .... we have been dumbed down with to many dummy guides for to many years ... time to put some meat on the bones and celebrate english intellectual culture ... lets push some boundaries with a solid selection of non fiction books.
