Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In its Golden Age, Athens was both the most powerful and most democratic of Ancient Greece's city-states. This exalted status called into being a new art the art of oratory with which the wealth and prominence of a political career could be won by mere speech. Itinerant teachers of the new techniques of persuasion bedazzled ambitious men with the prospect of power and, for a significant fee, taught them how to pursue it. By a miracle to which we owe the foundations of our Western Civilization, philosophy was born in Athens during this same period, most saliently in the person of Socrates, whose life coincided with the Athenian Golden Age.
