Description 1 online resource (viii, 239 pages)
Contents The disturbing theses -- The community of all human beings -- Wisdom: Sages and Gods -- Law and reason
Summary The notions of the cosmic city and the common law are central to early Stoic political thought. As Vogt shows, together they make up one complex theory. A city is a place governed by the law. Yet on the law pervading the cosmos can be considered a true law, and thus the cosmos is the only real city
