In den WarenkorbSoftcover. 10th paperback. xi, [10], 160, [1] p.; double-page line map: Alexander's route, with index to place-names; 20 cm. (Beacon paperbacks ; BP 26) [First printed in 1948: vol. 1. narrative, vol. 2. sources and studies; first paperback edition of the narrative only in 1956] -- `Aristotle's State had still cared nothing forh…umanity outside its own borders; the stranger must still be a serf or an enemy. Alexander changed all that. When he declared that all men were alike sons of one Father, and when at Opis he prayed that Maceonians and Persians might be partners in the commonwealth and that the peoples of his world might live in harmony and in unity of heart and mind, he proclaimed for the first time the unity and brotherhood of mankind. Perhaps he gave no thought to the slave world--we do not know; but he, first of all men, was ready to transcend national differences, and to declare, as St Paul was to declare, that there was neither Greek nor barbarian. And the impulse of this mighty revelation was continued by men who did give some thought to the slave world; for Zeno, who treated his slave as himself, and Seneca, who called himself the fellow-slave of his slaves. Above all, Alexander inspired Zeno's vision of a world in which all men should be members one of another, citizens of one State without distinction of race or institutions, subject only to and in harmony with the Common Law immanent in the Universe, and united in one social life not by compulsion but only by their own willing consent, or (as he put it) by Love. The splendour of this hopeless dream may remind us that not one but two of the great lines of social-political thought.go back to Alexander of Macedon.through Roman Emperor and medieval Pope.'
