This wide-ranging book locates the origin of political science in
the everyday world of ancient Greek life, thought, and culture.
Arlene Saxonhouse contends that the Greeks, confronted by the
puzzling diversity of the physical world, sought a force that would
unify, constrain, and explain it. This drive toward unity did more
than value the mind over the senses: it led the Greeks to play down
the very real complexities--particularly regarding women, the
family, and sexuality--in both their political and personal lives.
Saxonhouse opens up fresh understandings of such issues as the
Greeks' fear of the feminine and their attempts to ignore the
demands that gender, reproduction, and the family inevitably make
on the individual.
