'Kosmos' is the word the ancient Greeks used for human social
order. It has therefore a special application to the Greeks'
peculiar social and political unit of communal life that they
called the 'polis'. Of the many hundreds of such units in classical
Greece the best documented and the most complex was democratic
Athens. The purpose of this collective 1998 volume is to
re-evaluate the foundations of classical Athens' highly successful
experiment in communal social existence. Topics addressed include
religion and ritualization, political friendship and enmity, gender
and sexuality, sports and litigation, and economic and symbolic
exchange. The book aims to make a major contribution, theoretical
as well as empirical, towards understanding how the social order of
community life may be sustained and enhanced.
