Free Speech and Democracy in Ancient Athens
Illuminates the distinctive character of our modernunderstanding of the basis and value of free speech by contrastingit with the very different form of free speech that was practisedby the ancient Athenians in their democratic regime. Free speech inthe ancient democracy was not a protected right but an expressionof the freedom from hierarchy, awe, reverence and shame. It wasthus an essential ingredient of the egalitarianism of that regime.That freedom was challenged by the consequences of the rejection ofshame (aidos) which had served as a cohesive force within thepolity. Through readings of Socrates's trial, Greek tragedy andcomedy, Thucydides's History, and Plato's Protagoras this volumeexplores the paradoxical connections between free speech,democracy, shame, and Socratic philosophy and Thucydidean historyas practices of uncovering. ? Explores both ancient and modern theories of free speech ?Brings the notion of shame into democratic theory ? Offers novelreadings of some of the classic texts o

A History of Iraq(ISBN=9780521702478) 英文原版
To understand Iraq, Charles Tripp's history is the book toread. Since its first appearance in 2000, it has become a classicin the field of Middle East studies, read and admired by students,soldiers, policymakers and journalists. The book is now updated toinclude the recent American invasion, the fall and capture ofSaddam Hussein and the subsequent descent into civil strife. Whatis clear is that much that has happened since 2003 was foreshadowedin the account found in this book. Tripp's thesis is that thehistory of Iraq throughout the twentieth-century has made it whatit is today, but also provides alternative futures. Unless this isproperly understood, many of the themes explored in this book -patron-client relations, organized violence, sectarian, ethnic andtribal difference - will continue to exert a hold over the futureof Iraq as they did over its past. ?
