Democracy And Knowledge : Innovation And Learning In Classical Athens

  • Democracy And Knowledge : Innovation And Learning In Classical Athens

  • Attribution

    Josiah Ober

  • Publication Details

    Book, Princeton University Press, 2008

  • Description

    Democracy and Knowledge is the first book to look to ancient Athens to explain how and why directly democratic government by the people produces wealth, power, and security.

Imagining Men : Ideals Of Masculinity In Ancient Greek Culture

  • Imagining Men : Ideals Of Masculinity In Ancient Greek Culture

  • Attribution

    Thomas Van Nortwick

  • Publication Details

    Book, Praeger, 2008

  • Description

    Exploring models for masculinity as they appear in major works of Greek literature, this book combines literary, historical, and psychological insights to examine how the ancient Greeks understood the meaning of a man’s life. Because the Greeks believed that men (as opposed to women) were by nature the proper agents of human civilization within the larger order of the universe, examining how the Greeks thought that a man ought to live his life prompts exploration of the place of human life in a world governed by transcendent forces, nature, fate, and the gods.
