The Bonds of Humanity by Cary Nederman

The Bonds of Humanity by Cary Nederman

Surveys the many different impacts of Ciceronian theories on a diverse array of texts and authors between 1100 and 1550, presenting a counternarrative to the widely accepted belief in the dominance of Aristotelianism in early European political and social thought.

“An invaluable resource for early European political thoughtNederman’s careful reading and thorough scholarship fill an important gap in our understanding of the influence of Cicero in this neglected period.”

—Dean Hammer, author of Roman Political Thought: From Cicero to Augustine

“In showing that Cicero’s influence was greater than many have thought, Nederman has filled a gap in scholarship in a way that will please admirers of Cicero.”

—David Fott Political Theory

“Nederman’s meticulous research has done a wonderful service to scholars working on medieval and Renaissance philosophy and the history of ideas.”

—T. Brian Mooney The European Legacy

“For Nederman, it is clear, the insights gained through following his careful evaluations of the many ways in which Cicero’s works spoke to the social and political theorists . . . represent an investment not only in deeper knowledge and understanding of the past but also the acquisition of methods and ideas that will support mature and healthy analysis of present-day problems in human social and political association.”

—Catherine Keen Speculum
