The Origins of Democratic Thinking: The Invention of Politics in Classical Athens - Cambridge Classical Classics
Cynthia Farrar
The Athenians invented both democracy and democratic political theory. Farrar shows that unlike Plato and Aristotle, Protagoras, Thucydides, and Democritus developed theories that recognized democracy's value and wrestled with its challenges. Her new introduction argues for the ongoing relevance of Athenian democratic thought for the modern world.
