Ebook: Feindbild und Vorbild: Die athenische Demokratie und ihre intellektuellen Gegner

Was Athenian democracy solely a product of daily practice, emerging without theoretical justification or even an ideology? Did its critics live in a separate world of opposition or did they, too, adopt concepts, notions, and ideas from the order they so disliked? This rigorously organized collection examines the principal spokespersons of the literary-theoretical opposition to democracy and the anti-democratic discourse as a whole.
