Description

From Homer to Machiavelli, this new anthology features all of the major ancient and medieval political theory. In the spirit of those traditions of classical and medieval thought it elucidates, Readings in Classical Political Thought represents not only those thinkers traditionally recognised as philosophers, but poets, legislators, sophists, dramatists, historians, statesmen and theologians as well. Pre-eminent translations and the editor's own thoughtful Introductions further distinguish this unique anthology.

Reviews

This is an excellent collection, the best available in its field. --J. Rufus Fears, University of Oklahoma
A distinctive and superior collection of texts suitable for both graduate and undergraduate courses. There is nothing like it elsewhere. Steinberger's commentary is succint, accurate, and very useful. --Dr. Melvin Kulbicki, York College of Pennsylvania
A useful and well-thought anthology, to be used in undergraduate courses in Classical political philosophy. Excellent idea to include plays that shed light on political life in ancient Greece. --Dr. Aurelian Craiutu, Indiana University
