Aesop Said So
This study explores a mode of vernacular political theorizing. It focuses on American ‘proletarian artist’ Hugo Gellert’s publication, Aesop Said So (1936), an illustrated volume of a select number of Aesop’s fables that uses satirical cartoons to assert a parallel between the fables’ unassailable lessons and a critique of industrial capitalism and fascist sentiments. This article details how Gellert’s work presents a subversive Aesop that resona…
A Discussion of Josiah Ober’s The Rise and Fall of Classical Greece
Ancient Greece has long exercised a powerful hold on the imagination of modern political science. But until fairly recently, this influence has largely been philosophical, related to the origins of many theoretical concepts—including the concept of politics itself—in the ancient world. In The Rise and Fall of Classical Greece , Josiah Ober offers a synoptic and ambitious social theoretical account of the ancient Greek world, the sources of its po…

Theater Outside Athens
This volume brings together archeologists, art historians, philologists, literary scholars, political scientists, and historians to articulate the ways in which western Greek theater was distinct from that of the Greek mainland and, at the same time, to investigate how the two traditions interacted. The chapters intersect and build on each other in their pursuit of a number of shared questions and themes: the place of theater in the cultural life…
Recollecting Aristotle
Southern academics, politicians, and polemicists claimed Aristotle as a notable progenitor of the proslavery cause. This chapter argues that this use of Aristotle was more than ‘learned embroidery’ but a significant consideration of his political philosophy. It details three contexts within which these propagandists turned to Aristotle: they relied upon Aristotle to anchor their proslavery activism in a sophisticated philosophical objection to na…
The making of a democratic symbol
the case of Socrates in North-American popular media, 1941-56
Classical Theory in International Relations
Classical political theorists such as Thucydides, Kant, Rousseau, Smith, Hegel, Grotius, Mill, Locke and Clausewitz are often employed to explain and justify contemporary international politics and are seen to constitute the different schools of thought in the discipline. However, traditional interpretations frequently ignore the intellectual and historical context in which these thinkers were writing as well as the lineages through which they ca…
Aristotle's Theramenes at Athens
Plato's Democratic Entanglements
In this book, Sara Monoson challenges the longstanding and widely held view that Plato is a virulent opponent of all things democratic. She does not, however, offer in its place the equally mistaken idea that he is somehow a partisan of democracy. Instead, she argues that we should attend more closely to Plato's suggestion that democracy is horrifying and exciting, and she seeks to explain why he found it morally and politically intriguing. Monos…
Remembering Pericles
Etude de l'acte de memoire (Derrida) concernant la vie et l'oeuvre politique de Pericles soutenu par Platon dans le «Menexene», a travers l'oraison funebre (ecrite par Aspasie) que recite Socrate. Critiquant la veneration de Pericles par ses contemporains, et rejetant le modele de citoyennete fonde sur des relations erotiques tel qu'il apparait dans l'«Histoire des guerres du Peloponnese» de Thucydide, Platon defend un autre modele politique fond…
The Illusion of Power and the Disruption of Moral Norms
Scholars in both international relations and political theory have been turning their attention to Thucydides with increasing frequency but with dissimilar questions. We draw on both traditions of inquiry to reexamine Thucydides' view of Pericles. We argue that antithetical reasoning is present in the treatment of Pericles and is manifested in the opposition between the statesman's brilliance and the infelicitous consequences of his statecraft, a…

Citizen as Erastes
AT A KEY POINT IN THE FUNERAL oration Thucydides has Pericles urge his fellow citizens gaze, day after day, upon the power of the city and become her (II.43.1).1 This article investigates the implications and resonances of Pericles' use of this metaphor. I will show that far from being simply a pleasing turn of phrase, this metaphor does some important, substantive work in the speech. The metaphor suggests a way of thinking about the relationship…
