1 Ancient and Modern Democracy Ancient and Modern Democracy is a comprehensive account of Athenian democracy as a subject of criticism, admiration and scholarly debate for 2,500 years, covering the features of Athenian democracy, its importance for the English, American and French Revolutions and for the debates on democracy and political liberty from the nineteenth century to the present. Discussions were always in the context of contemporary constitutional problems. Time and again they made a connection with a long-established tradition, involving both dialogue with ancient sources and with earlier phases of the reception of Antiquity. They refer either to a common cultural legacy or to specific national traditions; they often involve a mixture of political and scholarly arguments. This book elucidates the complexity of considering and constructing systems of popular self-rule. is Professor Emeritus of Ancient History at Humboldt University of Berlin. He has been an Ordinary Member of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities since He has published seven monographs, including Public Order in Ancient Rome (Cambridge University Press, 1995), and edited eight collective volumes. He has written more than 150 scholarly articles in German and English on subjects of ancient history, history of political thought and history of historiography.
