Yet, in marked contrast with other= ancient philosophers, Cicero has largely been written out of the historica= l narrative on early European political thought, and the reception of his i= deas has barely been studied. The Bonds of Humanity corrects this glaring o= versight, arguing that the influence of Cicero=E2=80=99s ideas in medieval = and early modern Europe was far more pervasive than previously believed.
