Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 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 provides ample justific…ation 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 all contemporary citizens. Confronting head-on many of the beliefs we hold dear but seldom question, Samons examines 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. Challenging many basic assumptions about the character and success of Athenian democracy, What's Wrong with Democracy? 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, and he asks that we remember the Athenian example and begin to question our uncritical worship of democratic values such as freedom, choice, and diversity. An assessment of classical Athenian democracy and its significance for the US. It offers discussion of topics such as dangers of popular vote, Athens' acquisitive foreign policy, the tendency of the state to overspend, and the place of religion in Athenian society. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Contact seller5-star sellerPAPERBACK, attractive copy, appears unused. SAMONS, LOREN J. Pericles and the conquest of history: a political biography. New York: Cambridge University Press, 2016, xvi, 329pp., . "As the most famous and important political leader in Athenian history, Pericles has featured prominently in descriptions and analyses of Athenian de…mocracy from antiquity to the present day. Although contemporary historians have tended to treat him as representative of values like liberty and equality, Loren J. Samons, II demonstrates that the quest to make Athens the preeminent power in Greece served as the central theme of Pericles' career. More nationalist than humanist and less rationalist than populist, Pericles' vision for Athens rested on the establishment of an Athenian reputation for military success and the citizens' willingness to sacrifice in the service of this goal. Despite his own aristocratic (if checkered) ancestry, Pericles offered the common and collective Athenian people the kind of fame previously available only to heroes and nobleman, a goal made all the more attractive because of the Athenians' defensiveness about Athens' lackluster early history" - CONTENTS: To be an Athenian -- Curses, tyrants, and Persians (c.500-479) -- The dominance of Kimon (c.479-462/1) -- The democratic revolution (c.462/1-444/3) -- A Greek empire (c.460-445) -- Pericles and Sparta : the outbreak of the Great War (444/3-431) -- Pericles and Athenian nationalism : the conquest of history -- Athenian culture and the intellectual revolution : Pericles and the people -- Epilogue : the Periclean tradition -- APPENDICES.

Paperback. Condition: New. New trade softcover in printed wraps. 8vo. (6 x 1 x 9 inches) Clean text free of marks or underlining. B&W photo plates on heavy paper. Includes a list of abbreviations, maps, a bibliography and an index. 343 pp. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. Mid-fifth-century Athens saw the…development of the Athenian empire, the radicalization of Athenian democracy through the empowerment of poorer citizens, the adornment of the city through a massive and expensive building program, the classical age of Athenian tragedy, the assembly of intellectuals offering novel approaches to philosophical and scientific issues, and the end of the Spartan-Athenian alliance against Persia and the beginning of open hostilities between the two greatest powers of ancient Greece. The Athenian statesman Pericles both fostered and supported many of these developments. Although it is no longer fashionable to view Periclean Athens as a social or cultural paradigm, study of the history, society, art, and literature of mid-fifth-century Athens remains central to any understanding of Greek history. This collection of essays reveal the political, religious, economic, social, artistic, literary, intellectual, and military infrastructure that made the Age of Pericles possible.
