   Abstract = {What can the Romans teach us about politics? This thematic
             introduction to Roman political thought shows how the Roman
             world developed political ideas of lasting significance,
             from the consequential constitutional notions of the
             separation of powers, political legitimacy, and individual
             rights to key concepts in international relations, such as
             imperialism, just war theory, and cosmopolitanism. Jed W.
             Atkins relates these and many other important ideas to Roman
             republicanism, traces their evolution across all major
             periods of Roman history, and describes Christianity's
             important contributions to their development. Using the
             politics and political thought of the United States as a
             case study, he argues that the relevance of Roman political
             thought for modern liberal democracies lies in the profound
             mixture of ideas both familiar and foreign to us that shape
             and enliven Roman republicanism. Accessible to students and
             non-specialists, this book provides an invaluable guide to
             Roman political thought and its enduring
             legacies.},

   Title = {John Rawls’s Theology of Liberal Toleration},
   Journal = {American Political Thought},

   Abstract = {Scholarship has shown that John Rawls’s theological
             education at Princeton shaped his later theory of justice
             but has overlooked a similar impact on his account of
             toleration, which was also derived from the original
             position in ATheory of Justice. Drawing on a variety of
             published and unpublished works, I argue that in the account
             of toleration in A Theory of Justice the original position
             takes the place previously occupied by God in His roles as
             “father of all” and “just judge.” Paying attention
             to the theological origins of Rawls’s view of toleration
             in liberal Protestantism explains why he thought that the
             Western concept of the separation of church and state
             follows logically from the original position, even though
             his insistence on this point subjected his thought to
             internal inconsistency and external criticism. Acknowledging
             these limitations opens to liberal political theorists an
             avenue for increased institutional flexibility that Rawls
             prematurely closed.},

   Abstract = {Tertullian first coined the phrase 'the freedom of
             religion'. This article considers what this entails. I argue
             that Tertullian's discussion of religious liberty derives
             its theoretical significance from his creative repurposing
             of the Roman idea of liberty as non-domination. Tertullian
             contends that the Roman magistrates' treatment of Christian
             citizens and loyal subjects amounts to tyrannical domination
             characterized by the absence of the traditional conditions
             for non-domination: The rule of law, rule in and responsive
             to the interests of the people, and citizens' rights. On his
             reworking of these criteria, he argues that citizens and
             loyal subjects should have the right to act publicly on the
             convictions of their conscience even if these actions
             conflict with the state's civil religion. Tertullian shows
             that non-domination is a highly flexible idea that does not
             necessarily entail the participatory 'free state' of
             republicanism. Moreover, by applying the logic of
             non-domination to questions surrounding religious liberty,
             he opens up an important avenue of investigation largely
             ignored in the contemporary republican literature on
             non-domination.},

   Abstract = {In his work on medical ethics, Lauris Kaldjian identifies
             conscience with integrity. However, there are competing
             notions of integrity that may guide the conscience. This
             paper addresses debates over conscientious refusals by
             considering Cicero's account of integrity, a conception
             previously not discussed in the context of this debate.
             Cicero offers a framework for understanding integrity and
             conscience for the physician that is an alternative to
             Alasdair MacIntyre's notion of the completely unified life,
             an idea appropriated by Kaldjian in his argument that there
             can be no clean distinction between personal, private,
             practical reasoning and moral decision-making. Cicero's
             account rejects the modern-individualist idea of the
             autonomous self living a wholly compartmentalized life. It
             agrees with Kaldjian's stress on flexible decision-making,
             the internal morality of medicine, the importance of
             virtues, and the need to accommodate pluralism. However,
             Ciceronian integrity is better suited than the MacIntyreian
             account to our present liberal order. It offers a place for
             the "moral hero" while recognizing that the vast majority of
             moral agents will be "progressors" who lack the consistency
             of the moral hero's fully integrated life. The inclusion of
             both types of individuals in the medical field may offset
             the potentially harmful tendencies to which each is
             prone.},

   Abstract = {This paper assesses to what extent the neo-Republican
             accounts of Quentin Skinner and Philip Pettit adequately
             capture the nature of political liberty at Rome by focusing
             on Cicero's analysis of the libera res publica. Cicero's
             analysis in De Republica suggests that the rule of law and a
             modest menu of individual citizens’ rights guard against
             citizens being controlled by a master's arbitrary will,
             thereby ensuring the status of non-domination that
             constitutes freedom according to the neo-Republican view. He
             also shows the difficulty of anchoring an argument for
             citizens’ full political participation in the value of
             non-domination. While Cicero believed such full
             participation (by elite citizens) was essential for a libera
             res publica, he, like other elite Romans, argued for
             participation on the basis of liberty conceived as the space
             to contend for and enhance one's social status. The
             sufficiency of the rule of law and citizens’ rights for
             securing a status of non-domination taken together with
             their insufficiency for ensuring a libera res publica
             suggests that neo-Republican accounts of liberty do not
             fully capture the idea as articulated in Cicero's
             Republicanism.},

   Abstract = {Recent scholarship on Stoic political thought has sought to
             explain the relationship between Zeno's Republic and the
             concept of a natural law regulating a cosmic city of gods
             and human beings that is attributed to later Stoics. This
             paper provides a reassessment of this relationship by
             exploring the underappreciated influence of Plato's Laws on
             Zeno's Republic and, through Zeno, on the subsequent Stoic
             tradition. Zeno's attempt to remove perceived
             inconsistencies in Plato's treatment of 'law' and 'nature'
             established a philosophical framework that overturned the
             republicanism of Plato and Aristotle; this same framework
             established the preconditions for the cosmic city of gods
             and human beings regulated by natural law. Thus, the early
             Stoic tradition on the topic of natural law is characterized
             by continuity rather than by discontinuity.},

   Abstract = {Why and how did (and do) political thinkers with radically
             different political agendas invest in Cicero's conservative
             political philosophy? What is it about Cicero's political
             thought that inspires radicals and conservatives alike? This
             essay explores these questions through a case study of the
             reception of the central Ciceronian political doctrine of
             natural right in the revolutionary writings of Gabriel
             Bonnot de Mably and Edmund Burke. The former's Des droits et
             des devoirs du citoyen was an important revolutionary work
             that anticipated key elements of the French Revolution; the
             latter's Reflections on the Revolution in France constituted
             the major conservative critique of the French Revolution.
             Despite their ostensibly different aims, I argue that these
             works reveal remarkably similar interpretations of Cicero's
             doctrine of natural right: it was flexible enough that a
             prudent statesman could adapt it to different circumstances,
             but it still contained revolutionary potential. Burke, the
             consummate rhetorician, attempted to domesticate Cicero's
             teaching by obscuring its revolutionary potential while
             utilizing aspects that are friendlier to the established
             political order. The case study suggests that the apparent
             bivalency of the reception of Cicero's political thought may
             result from the amplification of a bivalency within his
             thought itself. © 2014 The Author 2014.},

   Abstract = {A reader of Ambrose's De officiis who is well acquainted
             with Cicero's homonymous work will be immediately impressed
             by the similarities in organization and the structure of
             argument. However, he or she will also notice that the
             bishop's ethic contains an element of rigor absent from
             Cicero's more moderate ethic. By focusing on Ambrose's
             creative appropriation of the Ciceronian/ Stoic categories
             of duties (officia), I demonstrate how he incorporated this
             distinctive element of his ethic into his work while still
             employing the same structure, argument, and terminology as
             his model. Ambrose uses the first type of officia to
             critique Cicero's ethic while he redefines the second type
             of officia and subsequently uses it as a vehicle for
             expressing the defining characteristics of his own ethic. ©
