The Greek Discovery of Politics / Die Entstehung des Politischen bei den Griechen
The studies contained in this volume are guided by two questions: How did democracy come about in Ancient Greece? And what distinguishes the political in Ancient Greece? In answering these questions, Christian Meier is particularly concerned with the development of suitable categories that make it possible to grasp the peculiarity of the Greeks more precisely and thus make it fruitful once more for the present.
