Overcoming Uncertainty in Ancient Greek Political Philosophy makes a significant historical and theoretical contribution by elucidating the role of opinion in ancient Greek political philosophy, highlighting its importance for Aristotle's theory of deliberation, and proposing a novel model for a deliberative republic. Currently, there are no studies of opinion in ancient Greek political theory, making the book a pioneering work in historical research. The book establishes that opinion plays a crucial role in the political theories of Plato, Aristotle, and the Stoics, as each of them views uncertainty as a challenge that must be addressed to establish a virtuous polity. Despite their differing perspectives on the nature of opinion's uncertainty, they employ distinct political strategies to address it. The book explains that Plato's and the Stoics' analyses of uncertainty lend support to oligarchy and monarchy, respectively, while Aristotle's theory provides a more nuanced understanding of uncertainty that is essential for the theoretical foundation of deliberate politics.
