The Athenian democracy of the fifth century BC saw a blossoming of knowledge. Some was closely associated with the institutions, with locations that were defined in the urban topography, while the ...new knowledge is more difficult to pinpoint. However, two testimonies situate the astronomer Meton in the Pnyx (Philoch. FGH 328 F 122) and in the theatre of Dionysius (Ar. Nu. 992-1020) meaning that he appeared before large audiences. This situation allows us to explore the social perception of new knowledge in Athens, and to understanding the unique mixture of realism and humour expressed by Aristophanes.

Democratic Faith is at once a trenchant ...analysis and a powerful critique of this underlying assumption that informs democratic theory. Patrick Deneen argues that among democracy's most ardent supporters there is an oft-expressed belief in the need to "transform" human beings in order to reconcile the sometimes disappointing reality of human self-interest with the democratic ideal of selfless commitment. This "transformative impulse" is frequently couched in religious language, such as the need for political "redemption." This is all the more striking given the frequent accompanying condemnation of traditional religious belief that informs the "democratic faith."
Democracy is retreating worldwide. As Freedom House reports, the US has not escaped this trend. The system of checks and balances of American democracy managed to thwart Trump’s assault on democracy. ...But together with longstanding institutional and structural defects, his presidency clearly indicates that American democracy is on the verge of political decay. Political polarisation, inequalities, identity politics and the inability of the two political parties to reach compromises are further testing the American democratic institutions. To avert decay, the US needs a reform coalition to bring about institutional changes; and more importantly, to establish inclusive economic policies and a renewed focus on citizenship, duty and a shared purpose.
It's a commonplace that citizens in Western democracies are disaffected with their political leaders and traditional democratic institutions. But in Democratic Legitimacy, Pierre Rosanvallon, one of ...today's leading political thinkers, argues that this crisis of confidence is partly a crisis of understanding.
