Zusammenfassung: | "This book seeks to understand Xenophon as an elite Athenian writing largely for an elite Athenian audience in the first half of the fourth century B.C. It argues that Xenophon calls on men of his own class to set aside their assumptions of superiority based on birth or wealth and to reinvent themselves as individuals who can provide effective leadership to the democratic city and serve it as good citizens. Xenophon challenges, criticizes, and sometimes satirizes the Athenian elite, and seeks to instruct them concerning the values, knowledge, and practical skills they will need to succeed as civic leaders. Xenophon is thus best understood not as an aristocratic dinosaur who is out of place in a democratic setting, as some have assumed, but as a thoughtful and pragmatic reformist who seeks to ensure that meritorious members of the elite step forward to lead within the democracy"-- |

Christ Cambridge ; New York ; Port Melbourne ; New Delhi ; Singapore Cambridge University Press 2020 ix, 215 Seiten txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier "This book seeks to understand Xenophon as an elite Athenian writing largely for an elite Athenian audience in the first half of the fourth century B.C. It argues that Xenophon calls on men of his own class to set aside their assumptions of superiority based on birth or wealth and to reinvent themselves as individuals who can provide effective leadership to the democratic city and serve it as good citizens. Xenophon challenges, criticizes, and sometimes satirizes the Athenian elite, and seeks to instruct them concerning the values, knowledge, and practical skills they will need to succeed as civic leaders. Xenophon is thus best understood not as an aristocratic dinosaur who is out of place in a democratic setting, as some have assumed, but as a thoughtful and pragmatic reformist who seeks to ensure that meritorious members of the elite step forward to lead within the democracy"-- Xenophon v430-v354 (DE-588)118635808 gnd rswk-swf Demokratie (DE-588)4011413-2 gnd rswk-swf Elite (DE-588)4014457-4 gnd rswk-swf Bildung (DE-588)4006650-2 gnd rswk-swf Athen (DE-588)4003366-1 gnd rswk-swf Xenophon Elite (Social sciences) / Greece / Athens Democracy / Greece / Athens Leadership / Greece / Athens Athens (Greece) / Politics and government Athens (Greece) / History Democracy Elite (Social sciences) Leadership Politics and government Greece / Athens History Xenophontis Anabasis (DE-2581)TH000003333 gbd Xenophontis De equitum magistro (DE-2581)TH000003338 gbd Xenophontis Oeconomicus (DE-2581)TH000003343 gbd Xenophontis Hellenica (DE-2581)TH000003340 gbd Xenophon Atheniensis hist.
