Het grote belang van het klassieke erfgoed in de onstuimige Nederlandse politieke discussies van de achttiende eeuw wordt door historici ten onrechte genegeerd. De gangbare voorstelling dat het achttiende-eeuwse Nederlandse politieke debat uitsluitend draaide om de interpretatie van de eigen geschiedenis of om het abstracte natuurrecht is onjuist. Ook de Griekse en de Romeinse oudheid waren voor de deelnemers aan het Nederlandse achttiende-eeuwse politieke debat alomtegenwoordige referentiepunten. Niet iedereen gebruikte de klassieken echter op dezelfde manier: de interpretatie van de oudheid

Gedurende die Middeleeue beleef Europa sy grootste politieke en kulturele ontwrigting, en konfronteer die Grieks-Romeinse kultuurerfenis sy donkerste tyd. 'n Groot gedeelte van die Grieks-Romeinse patrimonium bet verlore gegaan. Die term "middeleeue" is juis deur die humaniste van die Renaissance gekies om die (in bulle oe) kulturele insinking tussen die Klassieke Oudheid en bulle eie tyd te tipeer (Keen 1971:11). En tog dateer die meeste van die behoue Griekse werke en sowat die helfte van behoue Latynse werke uit die 9de en lOde eeu, en was die periode as geheel krities vir die voortbestaan van talle antieke werke. Boeke wat die Middeleeue oorleef het, het 'n veiliger reis na die Renaissance gehad.

From the last part of the fifth century onwards, orators trained in rhetoric became increasingly important in the Athenian democracy, as politicians, logographers and lawyers. Because of their expertise in rhetoric as well as administration and law they are usually described as the first 'professionals' in the Athenian political system. In this study I suggest that the orators merely operated with a different type of values than at the time were dominant in Athens, as was also the case with the Sophists,who, because of their adherence to new values, became involved in a clash with a large part of the Athenian citizenry. .

When does democracy work well, and why? Is democracy the best form of government? These questions are of supreme importance today as the United States seeks to promote its democratic values abroad. Democracy and Knowledge is the first book to look to ancient Athens to explain how and why directly democratic government by the people produces wealth, power, and security. Combining a history of Athens with contemporary theories of collective action and rational choice developed by economists and political scientists, Josiah Ober examines Athenian democracy's unique contribution to the ancient Gre.

Wisdom on the Move' explores the complexity and flexibility of wisdom traditions in Late Antiquity and beyond. This book studies how sayings, maxims and expressions of spiritual insight travelled across linguistic and cultural borders, between different religions and milieus, and how this multicultural process reshaped these sayings and anecdotes. 'Wisdom on the Move' takes the reader on a journey through late antique religious traditions, from manuscript fragments and folios via the monastic cradle of Egypt, across linguistic and cultural barriers, through Jewish and Biblical wisdom, monastic sayings, and Muslim interpretations. Particular attention is paid to the monastic 'Apophthegmata Patrum', arguably the most important genre of wisdom literature in the early Christian world

"This book is a critical study of Afrocentrist historical writing - a radical project of 'counter-history', based on racial theory, which places the 'black race' at the centre of human history, as the progenitor and inventor of ancient cultures."--Jacket
