Paul Woodruff: The first democracy
Old ideals and first democracy. Professor Paul Woodroff, a prominent classical scholar and political philosopher, returned to Athens, where the first democracy was born, and presented an essential and fundamental question about what democracy is. History, thought, literary writing and writing from the classical Greek writings brought back to life the history of democracy and seven controversial ideologies that were first tried in human history. The political party has always told us about the Athenians who challenged democracy, whether they should pursue true power like tyrants, what causes political rage to divide nations, whether education trains people for professional purposes only. This suggests that the Athenians give fresh impetus to how challenging democracy was and look at the debate they have heard about in a new way.
