The World of Prometheus
The Politics of Punishing in Democratic Athens
Autori
Viac o knihe
Punishment in ancient Athens served as a lens through which to explore the city's core democratic values, as highlighted by Danielle Allen. Through detailed cultural context, she illustrates how various forms of punishment sparked discussions on justice among citizens and leaders alike. Rather than a shift towards rationality, Athenian law was deeply intertwined with emotions like anger and honor, reflecting a complex interplay between societal roles—including those of women and slaves—in maintaining social harmony. This work challenges conventional views on the evolution of legal processes in democracy.
