M. I. Finley

Democracy Ancient and Modern

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This elegant and provocative book is perhaps more important now than when it was first published. The three essays that comprised the first edition developed a remarkable discourse between ancient Greek and modern conceptions of democracy. To these, Sir M.I. Finley has added two that clarify and elaborate the thinking of the first edition.
