place do nature, politics, and piety have in that life? "The unity of the
essays," Alex Priou writes in his introduction, "lies in the various tensions
explored: between ancients and moderns, religion and philosophy, magnanimity
and prudence, justice and friendship, and, most fundamentally, spiritedness and
the intellect." Laurence Berns proves an excellent guide for beginning one's
study of the great books of political philosophy, from Plato to the present.
