Sinopse

Democracy: Ancient Origins traces democracy's path from its beginnings in ancient Greece to its modern forms, exploring how core principles like voting systems and political equality have evolved. The book examines the successes and failures of past democratic experiments, offering insights into present-day strengths and weaknesses.

 
Did you know Athenian democracy utilized ostracism to prevent tyranny? Or that the Roman Republic contributed significantly to the concept of representative government?

 
This historical analysis emphasizes the constant adaptation of democratic ideals in response to changing social, economic, and political contexts. It navigates inherent tensions between popular will and minority rights, individual liberty and collective responsibility.

 
Beginning with direct democracy in Athens, the book progresses through the Roman Republic, the Enlightenment, and revolutionary movements. By providing a chronological account of democracy's evolution, drawing from historical sources and contemporary scholarship, the book offers a balanced view of different democratic experiments.

 
It sheds light on the challenges facing contemporary democracies, such as declining voter turnout and political polarization, making it valuable to anyone interested in understanding democracy's history and future.

    In many ways, we've been telling the same stories, over and over, for the last 2300 years. This book will show you why, and how you can do it too. 
    For centuries, dramatic writers have relied on Aristotelian principles to write their stories for the screen and stage—the same stories you stream and watch today. But for the first time ever, the timeless principles from Aristotle’s esteemed Poetics have been adapted for novelists. 
    With succinct clarity, novelist Douglas Vigliotti shows you exactly how to write a novel using tried-and-true principles that have been used since antiquity to tell great stories. These principles are the foundation on which any story can be written. Whether you are writing your first or tenth novel, Aristotle for Novelists has something to offer any serious writer of fiction. It is both a challenge to writers to simplify their craft and a no-frills, impassioned outcry for novelists everywhere.
