Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Sehr guter Zustand, Schutzumschlag minimal berieben / Very good condition, dust jacket minimally worn. - FIFTH-CENTURY ATHENS IS PRAISED AS THE cradle of democracy and sometimes treated as a potential model for modern political theory or practice. In this daring reassessment of classical Athenian democracy and its significance for the United States today, Loren J. Samons II provides ample justification for our founding fathers’ distrust of democracy, a form of government they scorned precisely because of their familiarity with classical Athens. How Americans have come to embrace "democracy" in its modern form—and what the positive and negative effects have been—is an important story for us today. Samons confronts head-on many of the beliefs we hold dear but seldom question, examining Athens’s history in the fifth and fourth centuries b.c. in order to test the popular idea that majority rule leads to good government. What's Wrong with Democracy? challenges many basic assumptions about the character and success of Athenian democracy and offers fascinating and accessible discussions of topics including the dangers of the popular vote, Athens’s acquisitive foreign policy, the tendency of the state to overspend, the place of religion in Athenian society, and more. Sure to generate controversy, Samons’s bold and iconoclastic book finds that democracy has begun to function like an unacknowledged religion in our culture, immune from criticism and dissent. It asks that, remembering the Athenian example, we begin to question our uncritical worship of democratic values such as freedom, choice, and diversity.
