Description

Explore the origins of democracy with Demopolis: Democracy before Liberalism in Theory and Practice. Published by Cambridge University Press, this work by Josiah Ober examines the core meaning of democracy as collective and limited self-government by citizens. Rather than focusing on majority tyranny, the book looks at the historical roots found in ancient Athens. Through a combination of history and political theory, Ober introduces Demopolis, a hypothetical modern state designed to illustrate participatory self-government. This book offers a unique perspective on how ancient practices can inform modern political life, aiming to establish a secure and prosperous society through direct citizen involvement.
