How should we study the democracy of classical Athens? How, if at
all, is it relevant to our own world with its different forms of
democracy?;Attitudes to Athenian democracy have always been affectd
by the circumstances of those studying it; but, after a period in
which scholars professed objectivity and impartiality as their
ideal, the possibility of attaining that ideal has been questioned,
and ideological commitment and relevance to contemporary
circumstances have returned into fashion. This book traces
developments in the study of Athenian democracy, examines the
different approaches adopted in recent times, and argues that the
conscious pursuit of relevance makes for bad history and that,
although total objectivity is unattainable, studies which make that
an ideal to be approached are likely to do more justice to the
subject and also to be more useful in our world.
