For this reason, reactions to Athenian democracy have long provided a prime Rorschach test for political thought. Whether praising Athens's government as the legitimizing ancestor of modern democracies or condemning it as mob rule, commentators throughout history have revealed much about their own notions of politics and society. In this book, Jennifer Roberts charts responses to Athenian democracy from Athens itself through the twentieth century, exploring a debate that touches upon historiography, ethics, political science, anthropology, sociology, philosophy, gender studies, and educational theory. 606 $aDemocracy$zGreece$zAthens$xHistory 606 $aDemocracy$xHistory 606 $aPolitical science$xHistory 615 0$aDemocracy$xHistory. 615 0$aDemocracy$xHistory. 615 0$aPolitical science$xHistory. 676 $a321.8/0938/5 700 $aRoberts$b Jennifer Tolbert$f1947-$01049095 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817639703321 996 $aAthens on trial$93970680 997 $aUNINA
