Through a blend of lively detail and elegant narration, James
Faubion immerses us in the cosmopolitan intellectual life of
Athens, a centerless city of multiplicities and fragmentations, a
city on the "margins of Europe" recovering from the repressive rule
of a military junta. Drawing inspiration from Athens and its
cultural elite, Faubion explores the meaning of modernity, finding
it not in the singular character of "Western civilization" but
instead in an increasingly diverse family of practices of
reform.
