Description

Explore the origins of Western political theory with this deep study of late fifth and fourth century B.C. Athens. In Political Dissent in Democratic Athens, Josiah Ober examines how and why political theorizing emerged during a period of intense debate regarding popular rule. This work investigates the tension between elite Greek intellectuals and the reality of Athenian democracy. While many elites believed ordinary citizens lacked the capacity to govern, the Athenian regime remained resilient and successful. Ober addresses this central question by analyzing how intellectuals attempted to explain a system that seemed to function despite their criticisms of its inherent wisdom. By combining intellectual history, political philosophy, and literary analysis, this volume provides a clear look at the high-stakes arguments that shaped ancient political thought. It is an essential resource for students and readers interested in the roots of democratic debate and the historical development of political philosophy.
