Editor of Early Modern History: Contacts, Contrasts and Comparisons
(Brill).
In this ambitious book, Antony Black provides a short and global
explanation of ancient political thought. He should be considered
one of the greatest and most consistent specialists in medieval
political thought, but in this book he shows an impressive
comprehension of the sources of ancient cultures ... can be highly
recommended.
*Rafael Ramis Barceló, Political Studies Review*
admirably ambitious ... This is not a merely encyclopaedic account
of ancient thought but a genuinely comparative analysis, with the
constant attention to the divergences from basic similarities that
creates the exciting sense of a single argument.
*Richard Seaford, History of Political Thought*
