Description
Democracy: A Life explores the concept's many manifestations and its evolution over time. From ancient Greece to the present day, Paul Cartledge examines how democracy has changed and why it has endured. The Athenian form of democracy emerged in the sixth century BC, but what enabled it to survive? How did it differ from other forms developed among the Greek cities? Cartledge delves into these questions and more, tracing the development of ancient political thinking about democracy from its inception. He also examines how democracy was eclipsed by other forms of government for many centuries, only to experience a resurgence in recent times. Cartledge's biography of democracy offers a nuanced understanding of this complex concept, shedding light on its history and significance.
