This is sufficient proof that there is no essential difference within mankind.' (Laws l.29-30) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCicero's The Republic is an impassioned plea for responsible governement written just before the civil war that ended the Roman Republic in a dialogue following Plato. Drawing on Greek political theory, the work embodies the mature reflections of a Roman ex-consul on the nature of political organization, on justice in society, and on the qualities needed in a statesman. Its sequel, The Laws, expounds the influential doctrine of Natural Law, which applies to all mankind, and\u003cbr\u003esets out an ideal code for a reformed Roman Republic, already half in the realm of utopia. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the first complete English translation of both works for over sixty years and features a lucid Introduction, a Table of Dates, notes on the Roman constitution, and an Index of Names.","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47077554290928,"sku":"9780191605239","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780191605239_p0.jpg?v=1769910841","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780191605239","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
