Of the great philosophers of pagan antiquity, Marcus Tullius Cicero is the =
only one whose ideas were continuously accessible to the Christian West fol=
lowing the collapse of the Roman Empire. 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.

Enjoy!
