Abstract

Abstract:

Cicero's political thought is pervaded by analogies of private law that helped him to overcome philosophical difficulties. One serious difficulty was the demand of natural law that property must be owned by the one capable of managing it. This posed a problem to that most remarkable piece of property of all: the res publica. While incapable of managing it, the people was the only theoretically possible owner of the res publica. The legal concept "guardianship" offered a solution. In Cicero's writings the minor, guardian, and object under care demonstrably correspond to the Roman people, the magistrates, and the res publica.

西塞罗政治思想中的法律类比

摘要:西塞罗的政治思想充满了私法类比，这些类比帮助他克服了哲学难题。其中一个严重的难题是，自然法要求财产必须归有能力的人所有。这给最重要的财产--公共财产--带来了难题。虽然人民没有能力管理公共财产，但从理论上讲，人民是公共财产唯一可能的所有者。法律概念 "监护 "提供了一个解决方案。在西塞罗的著作中，未成年人、监护人和被监护的对象明显对应于罗马人民、地方行政官和公共财产。

期刊介绍： Since its inception in 1940, the Journal of the History of Ideas has served as a medium for the publication of research in intellectual history that is of common interest to scholars and students in a wide range of fields. It is committed to encouraging diversity in regional coverage, chronological range, and methodological approaches. JHI defines intellectual history expansively and ecumenically, including the histories of philosophy, of literature and the arts, of the natural and social sciences, of religion, and of political thought. It also encourages scholarship at the intersections of cultural and intellectual history — for example, the history of the book and of visual culture.
