Descrizione: Cicero’s treatment of property and money stands squarely within the twin currents of the wide stream of Cicero’s political thought: commitments to human sociability and the limits of reason in political affairs. It bears on many of the major questions of political theory he explores: justice; rights; the character, purposes, and foundations of a republic; empire; slavery; virtue; rational planning and its limits; the constitution; just war theory; natural law; the relationship between ethics and politics; statesmanship that seeks to balance past and present claims to justice. Along with these topics, Cicero’s discussion of property has bequeathed to later political theorists fruitful material to think with and against. In elucidating Cicero’s discussions of property within the wider themes of his political theory, I situate Cicero’s treatment within the context of two influential later receptions: that of John Locke and Ambrose Bishop of Milan [Author].
