Politics is going through a crisis, and the state is divided. We may nostalgic for the golden age when citizens engaged politically, participated in public affairs, discussed constructively, and everyone had the right to speak, as we imagine it happened in the city-states of Athens during the classical period.
This reference, familiar to political scientists, philosophers, historians, and legal scholars, has so far been examined only from a positive perspective, within a tradition that aims to present modern democracy as a descendant of ancient democracy. However, ancient democracy, so idealized, can also serve as a model regarding its deviations, weaknesses, and crises, to better understand contemporary politics.
