Colloquium
“Ancient Greek Democracy and Its Reception”
May 9, 2025, 15:45 με 20:15
This colloquium is devoted to Ancient Greek Democracy and its ancient and modern reception. The talks will focus on issues related to the conditions of the genesis and development of ancient Greek Democracy, its mode of operation, the types of socio-political organization it promoted, as well as the ethical and political values on which it was founded. Finally, they will examine the various ways in which the model of governance it introduced influenced later and more modern political thought.
The forum is aligned with, and actually results from, the academic subject and purpose of the new program of postgraduate studies (in preparation) ‘Classics Today: Contemporary Issues Through the Lens of Ancient Greek and Roman Thought’.
