The Bonds of Humanity

Focusing on the overlooked impact of Cicero's philosophy, this book argues for his significant influence on medieval and early modern European political thought. It highlights how Cicero's ideas remained accessible to the Christian West after the fall of the Roman Empire, challenging the narrative that has marginalized his contributions. By examining the pervasive reception of his work, the author seeks to restore Cicero's rightful place in the history of political philosophy.
