Political Dissent in Democratic Athens Intellectual Critics of Popular Rule

"...Josiah Ober's collection of critics may be less engaged in conversation than he allows; but this should not detract from the significant value of his study. There is passion in his account of democracy and its importance, and sympathy in his portrayal of individual critics....This is unquestionably a work of serious scholarship, often requiring of the reader a detailed grasp of the Greek texts.Ober, Josiah is the author of 'Political Dissent in Democratic Athens Intellectual Critics of Popular Rule', published 2001 under ISBN 9780691089812 and ISBN 0691089817.
