La démocratie a été inventée, analysée et louée par les Athéniens du Ve siècle avant J.-C. C'était une forme de démocratie particulière : une démocratie directe, dans laquelle chaque citoyen avait la possibilité de participer à toutes les décisions importantes, de façon souveraine. Or ce même Ve siècle est celui où l'on voit apparaître un surgissement sans pareil d'œuvres et de découvertes dans le domaine intellectuel et culturel. Le dernier livre de Jacqueline de Romilly entreprend d'établir un rapport étroit entre l'exercice nouveau de la démocratie et ce soudain épanouissement, qui en fut le prolongement. A la différence de ses livres précédents, Jacqueline de Romilly a largement orienté cet essai vers les problèmes d'aujourd'hui. L'expérience athénienne reste unique, mais la leçon qui se dégage de cette expérience ancienne permet de ranimer l'élan qui a donné d'aussi beaux résultats. Le passé peut ici inspirer l'avenir

In this careful and compelling study, Ryan K. Balot brings together political theory, classical history, and ancient philosophy in order to reinterpret courage as a specifically democratic virtue. Ranging from Thucydides and Aristophanes to the Greek tragedians and Plato, Balot shows that the ancient Athenians constructed a novel vision of courage that linked this virtue to fundamental democratic ideals such as freedom, equality, and practical rationality. The Athenian ideology of courage had practical implications for the conduct of war, for gender relations, and for the citizens'self-image as democrats. In revising traditional ideals, Balot argues, the Athenians reimagined the emotional and cognitive motivations for courage in ways that will unsettle and transform our contemporary discourses. Without losing sight of political tensions and practical conflicts, Balot illustrates the merits of the Athenian ideal, provocatively explaining its potential to enlarge our contemporary understandings of politics and ethics. The result is a remarkable interdisciplinary work that has significant implications for the theory and practice of democracy, both ancient and modern.
