Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the realm of classical Greek political thought, challenging the established understanding of concepts like liberalism and democracy. It argues that a group of thinkers, often overlooked in favor of Plato and Aristotle, developed a distinct 'liberal temper' that placed emphasis on individual autonomy, pragmatic judgment, and the negotiation of differing opinions. By exploring the works of figures like Democritus, Protagoras, and Antiphon, the author reveals a rich tradition of thought that existed outside the idealistic frameworks of Plato and Aristotle. These 'liberals' rejected notions of fixed societal structures and absolute truths, advocating instead for a more flexible and inclusive approach to politics and morality. The book contends that this 'liberal temper' resonates with contemporary political discourse, particularly in its emphasis on individual rights, freedom of expression, and the value of compromise. By shedding light on these forgotten voices from classical Greece, the author invites us to reconsider the historical roots of our own political values and to appreciate the enduring relevance of these ancient debates. Ultimately, this book offers a fresh perspective on Greek political thought, highlighting the profound influence of the 'liberal temper' on the evolution of Western political ideas and institutions.
