History/Military "The Origins of Democratic Thinking. The Invention of Politics in Classical Athens" by Cynthia Farrar

More "The Origins of Democratic Thinking. The Invention of Politics in Classical Athens" by Cynthia Farrar The ancient Greeks invented democracy. They also invented political theory. This book seeks to show that these were not unrelated achievements. Digitally printed version 2008: • | • The development of political theory accompanied the growth of democracy at Athens in the fifth century BC. By analysing the writings of Protagoras the sophist, Thucydides the historian, and Democritus the cosmologist in the context of political developments and speculation about the universe, Dr Farrar reveals the existence of a distinctive approach to the characterisation of democratic order, and in doing so demonstrates the virtues of Thucydides’ historical conception of politics. Thucydides’ history is shown to be an argument for the political force of historical judgement. Contents Preface 1. Ancient reflections: a force for us 2. Order in autonomy: the ungoverned cosmos and the democratic community 3. Protagoras: measuring man 4. Man's measuring: cosmos and community 5. Thucydides: reflecting history: man and the community 6. Democritus. Reflecting man: man and the cosmos 7. Living democracy?
