"How did the Stoics conceive of a polis and statehood? What happens when these ideas
meet different biographies and changing historical environments? To answer these questions,
'The Stoics and the State' combines close philological reading of original source
texts and fine-grained conceptual analysis with wide-ranging contextualisation, which
is both thematic and diachronic. A systematic account elucidates extant definitions,
aspects of statehood (territory, institutions, population and state objectives) and
the constitutive function of the common law. The book's diachronic part investigates
how Stoics from Zeno to Marcus Aurelius used their theory of the state to assess particular
states, explain the origin of political communities and shape their own political
practice. A glimpse at modern adaptations from Justus Lipsius to Martha C. Nussbaum
explains the peculiarities of Stoic notions and their basis in a conception of human
nature as not only political but essentially sociable and beneficent"--Back cover
