Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aristotle on the Constitution of Athens How soon conjectural emendation will have said its last word on the Constitution of Athens it is difficult to predict. Until that moment arrives is translation premature? If a remnant of ancient architecture, half buried in the sand, were discovered in the Sahara, the public would probably be glad to have a photograph of its actual appearance before the work of excavation was completed, and perhaps English readers would rather that the power of forming an opinion for themselves on the substantive character and interest of the partly recovered work of Aristotle should not be postponed to the date when textual criticism shall have completed its labours. To meet this assumed demand the following translation is offered. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book The Athenian Constitution

Download or read book The Athenian Constitution written by Aristotle and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1984-10-02 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Probably written by a student of Aristotle, The Athenian Constitution is both a history and an analysis of Athens' political machinery between the seventh and fourth centuries BC, which stands as a model of democracy at a time when city-states lived under differing kinds of government. The writer recounts the major reforms of Solon, the rule of the tyrant Pisistratus and his sons, the emergence of the democracy in which power was shared by all free male citizens, and the leadership of Pericles and the demagogues who followed him. He goes on to examine the city's administration in his own time - the council, the officials and the judicial system. For its information on Athens' development and how the democracy worked, The Athenian Constitution is an invaluable source of knowledge about the Athenian city-state.

Book The Greek Discovery of Politics

Download or read book The Greek Discovery of Politics written by Christian Meier and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why the Greeks? How did it happen that these people--out of all Mediterranean societies--developed democratic systems of government? The outstanding German historian of the ancient world, Christian Meier, reconstructs the process of political thinking in Greek culture that led to democracy. He demonstrates that the civic identity of the Athenians was a direct precondition for the practical reality of this form of government. Meier shows how the structure of Greek communal life gave individuals a civic role and discusses a crucial reform that institutionalized the idea of equality before the law. In Greek drama--specifically Aeschylus' Oresteia--he finds reflections of the ascendancy of civil law and of a politicizing of life in the city-state. He examines the role of the leader as well as citizen participation in Athenian democracy and describes an ancient equivalent of the idea of social progress. He also contrasts the fifth-century Greek political world with today's world, drawing revealing comparisons. The Greek Discovery of Politics is important reading for ancient historians, classicists, political scientists, and anyone interested in the history of political thought or in the culture of ancient Greece.

Book Ancient Greece and Rome

  • Author : Keith Hopwood
  • Publisher : Manchester University Press
  • Release : 1995
  • ISBN : 9780719024016
  • Pages : 472 pages

Download or read book Ancient Greece and Rome written by Keith Hopwood and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Thomas Fairfax, not Oliver Cromwell, was creator and commander of Parliament's New Model Army from 1645 to1650. Although Fairfax emerged as England's most successful commander of the 1640s, this book challenges the orthodoxy that he was purely a military figure, showing how he was not apolitical or disinterested in politics. The book combines narrative and thematic approaches to explore the wider issues of popular allegiance, puritan religion, concepts of honour, image, reputation, memory, gender, literature, and Fairfax's relationship with Cromwell. 'Black Tom' delivers a groundbreaking examination of the transformative experience of the English revolution from the viewpoint of one of its leading, yet most neglected, participants. It is the first modern academic study of Fairfax, making it essential reading for university students as well as historians of the seventeenth century. Its accessible style will appeal to a wider audience of those interested in the civil wars and interregnum more generally.
