First sentence: Marcus Tullius Cicero is a sterling example of the rare combination of political power and philosophical wisdom in a single person.
Description: "This book presents Cicero's natural law theory, including valuable definitions of the state, the ideal state, the ideal ruler, and the laws for the ideal state. Explanations are offered of the Greek sources of Cicero's republican philosophy, his influence on the Principate of Augustus, and his role in the development of modern political philosophy."--BOOK JACKET.
