Description: ` However one defines Man the same definition applies to us all. This is sufficient proof that there is no essential difference within mankind. (Laws l.29 - 30) Cicero'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 sets out an ideal code for a reformed Roman Republic already half in the realm of utopia.
