    Socratic, dialogical method, the book is written. If someone has been invited to the "decisions of the fifteen-member" and wants to see a more comprehensive and fresh look at modern Greek reality, they will understand many things about the times that have shaped us in recent years. Although it does not provide direct and clear instructions for solving the modern problems faced by those who think, it gives you the tools to think for yourself. It is easy to read, substantial, and with enough depth book. It is worth it.

Description & Specifications

Stavros Tsakirakis, a professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Athens, invited by the Greek community at the University of Oxford, discusses with the author Apostolos Doxiadis about Democracy in the Post-Dictatorship Era.

Some of the topics they address:

  • Is the resistance to the dictatorship mythologized?
  • How did the early post-dictatorship years define us?
  • Where do we get the idea that all struggles are just?
  • The role of trade unionism in Greek society.
  • What is the state? Are we all a part of it?
  • The operation of Greek universities, student unions, and the establishment of non-state universities.
  • Does the principle of equality conflict with freedom?
  • Is there a problem of freedom of speech in Greece?
  • What is the role of justice in modern democracy?

The intoxicating atmosphere of meaning that resistance provided to those who acted against the dictatorship during those years cannot be transmitted unless one has felt it themselves. This feeling of profound meaning cannot be easily abandoned. Its loss, in the post-dictatorship era, I can describe more sensitively as the loss of a loved one or, more harshly, as the loss felt by a drug addict when their drugs are taken away. Many of those who lived in this atmosphere did not handle the loss well, meaning they did not mourn it.

Apostolos Doxiadis: Have you heard any struggles in our days that are considered unjust? For example, farmers went out and blocked the roads. What do they want? Money. From whom do they want the money? From me. "The struggle is just!" Why? If they want it, they must convince me, not forcefully. Isn't that right? Have you heard anyone say that a particular mobilization is unjust? That they disagree with it? I don’t know; I can’t think of any. Everyone is fighting. What are they fighting for? To get more money. Seriously? Is that the struggle they are supposed to be having? And whoever fights is good, even if they are harming people? But I want to ask: Where do we get the idea that all struggles are just? The belief that they are just is a child of the dictatorship.
