GIRARDET, K.M., Die Ordnung der Welt. Ein Beitrag zur philosophischen und politischen Interpretation von Ciceros Schrift De Legibus. Franz Steiner Verlag, Wiesbaden, 1983. VIII,260p. Sewn. Series: Historia, Einzelschriften, Heft 42. 'Girardet argues that the philosophical framework of the 'De Leg.' has been wrongly assimiliated to Stoic doctrine on Natural Law; while the Stoics (and Antiochus) denied that ordinary laws were real laws at all, for Cicero nature (and so human nature, and so both human and divine reason) is the source of law; thus tight and good written laws, drafted by a 'sapiens', are natural laws - they do not merely reflect a superior Natural Law. G. (...) suggests that we may have tended to misunderstand Cicero by seeing him through the eyes of Lactantius and Augustine. (...) The nature of Rome's relation to other states is important to G. because he sees the 'De Leg.' with the closely related 'De Rep.' as a practical call to action. Here he perhaps lacks nuance. (...) In spite of its 'longeurs', this book seems to me an interesting contribution to discussion of its subject.'

HANSEN, M.H., Was Athens a Democracy? Popular Rule, Liberty and Equality in Ancient and Modern Political Thought. Munksgaard, Copenhagen, 1989. 47p. Sewn. With gift intention for (Manfred) Horstmanshoff. Series: Det Kongelige Danske Videnskabernes Selskab, Historisk-filosofiske Meddelelser, 59. (Rare thus). From the library of M. Horstmanshoff. 'In this stimulating essay, Dr. Hansen argues that the differences between ancient 'demokratia' and modern democracy have been exaggerated, and are less great in 1989 that they were in the 1950s and 1960s. With the technological revolution, 'teledemocracy', a form of direct democracy may be upon us: (...) modern democracies are moving closer to their ancient counterparts in their exclusiveness about citizenship. It is however in considering democracy as a set of ideals rather than as a political system that H. detects the closest parallels. The major part of the essay is an extremely fruitful discussion of the ideological triad democracy-liberty-equality. (...) As ever, H. wields a formidable battery of sources in support of his positions, and his citation of secondary literature includes much from modern political theorists with whom classicists may be unfamiliar. The discussion is unfailingly lucid, always reasonable, and usually convincing. It is likely to become a classic treatment, and should be essential reading for all those interested in ancient democracy.' (RONALD A. KNOX in The Classical Review (New Series), 1990, pp.177-178). € 25.00 (Antiquarian)
