Free Speech and Democracy in Ancient Athens mobi 下载 网盘 caj lrf pdf txt 阿里云

Free speech in the ancient democracy was not a protected right but an expression of the *** from hierarchy, awe, reverence and shame. That *** was challenged by the c***equences of the rejection of shame (aidos) which had served as a cohesive force within the polity. Through readings of Socrates's trial, Greek tragedy and comedy, Thucydides's History, and Plato's Protagoras, this volume explores the paradoxical connecti*** between free speech, democracy, shame, and Socratic philosophy and Thucydidean history.

　　Illuminates the distinctive character of our modern

understanding of the basis and value of free speech by contrasting

it with the very different form of free speech that was practised

by the ancient Athenians in their democratic regime. Free speech in

the ancient democracy was not a protected right but an expression

of the *** from hierarchy, awe, reverence and shame. It was

thus an essential ingredient of the egalitarianism of that regime.

That *** was challenged by the c***equences of the rejection of

shame (aidos) which had served as a cohesive force within the

polity. Through readings of Socrates's trial, Greek tragedy and

comedy, Thucydides's History, and Plato's Protagoras this volume

explores the paradoxical connecti*** between free speech,

democracy, shame, and Socratic philosophy and Thucydidean history

as practices of uncovering.

　　? Explores both ancient and modern theories of free speech ?

Brings the notion of shame into democratic theory ? Offers novel

readings of some of the classic texts of ancient Greece - Plato,

Aristophanes, Euripides, and Thucydides
