Opis

If participation in self-government is not central to citizens' vision of the political good, is despotism inevitable? Gregory Bruce Smith's study evolves around reconciling the early republican tradition in Greece and Rome as set out by authors such as Aristotle and Cicero, and a more recent tradition shaped by thinkers such as Machiavelli, Locke, Montesquieu, Adam Smith, Madison, and Rousseau.
