A new study of philosophical thinking about ethical values, political structures and processes, and the nature of a good society, in the period of the Roman Empire; with special emphasis on the relationship of philosophical values and theories to the values and assumptions of the (non philosophical) social and political elite of the period, and on the status of philosophical commitment as an element in educated culture.
