About this product
Product Information
This book is about the political thought of ancient China, Greece, Israel, Rome, India, Iran, Egypt, Mesopotamia, and also early Christianity, from prehistory to c. 200 CE. In most cultures, sacred monarchy was the norm, but this ranged from absolute to conditional authority. In Greece and Rome, democracy and liberty were born, while in Israel the polity was based on covenant and the law. Justice, the rule of law and meritocracy were seen as essential in all cultures. The Stoics and Cicero saw humanity as a single unit. Confucius taught humaneness, Mozi and Christianity taught universal love; Kautilya and the Chinese 'Legalists' believed in realpolitik and an authoritarian state.

Reviews
'In this ambitious book, Antony Black provides a short and global explanation of ancient political thought. He should be considered one of the greatest and most consistent specialists in medieval political thought, but in this book he shows an impressive comprehension of the sources of ancient cultures ... can be highly recommended.'Rafael Ramis Barceló, Political Studies Review'Admirably ambitious ... This is not a merely encyclopaedic account of ancient thought but a genuinely comparative analysis, with the constant attention to the divergences from basic similarities that creates the exciting sense of a single argument.'Richard Seaford, History of Political Thought, In this ambitious book, Antony Black provides a short and global explanation of ancient political thought. He should be considered one of the greatest and most consistent specialists in medieval political thought, but in this book he shows an impressive comprehension of the sources of ancient cultures ... can be highly recommended.
