SUMMARY:When Democracies Vote to Overthrow Themselves: Lessons from Classical Athens.
DESCRIPTION:Democracy most often ends not with a violent spasm\, but with a vote.\nOligarchic challengers leverage their small numbers to coordinate dis-informing campaigns\, hoping that enough citizens will withhold their support for democratic rule. Already in the fifth- and fourth-centuries BCE\, Greek democracies experimented with strategies to overcome these problems\, such as the Solonian law against political neutrality and tyrant-killing legislation.\nThis talk will demonstrate the continuing relevance of ancient political theory and practice to contemporary democratic politics. \nAbout the speaker:\nProf. Robert Sobak (Bowdoin College\, USA) is a Greek historian researching the emergence of collective intelligence among laborers in Democratic Athens. \nThe AIA has selected this talk as one of the “Alan Boegehold Lectures in Athenian Archaeology and Letters” for the academic year 2024/2025.
