| Zusammenfassung: | The origin and early development of the city-state -- Economic growth : a necessary condition for the city-state -- The spear : warfare and the city-state -- The pebble : collective decision making and the city-state -- The scroll : literacy and the city-state -- Conclusion : Literate citizen-warriors and city-state culture -- Appendix 1: A note on the sources -- Appendix 2: Aristotle's Politeiai -- Appendix 3: Overseas settlements and Metropoleis. "This book presents a powerful new argument for how and why the Greek city-states, including their distinctive society and culture, came to be - and why they had the highly unusual and influential form they took. After reviewing early city-state formation, and the economic underpinnings of city-state society, three key chapters examine the way the Greeks developed their unique society. The spear, scroll and pebble encapsulate the book's core ideas. The Spear: city-state Greeks developed a citizen-militia military system that gave relatively equal importance to each citizen-warrior, thereby emboldening the citizen-warriors to demand political rights. The Pebble: the resultant growth of collective political systems of oligarchy and democracy led to thousands of citizens forming the sovereign element of the state; they made political decisions through communal debate and voting. The Scroll: in order for such systems to function, a shared information base had to be created, and this was done by setting up public notices of laws, proposed policies, public meeting agendas, and a host of other information. To access this information, these military and political citizens had to be able to read. Billows examines the spread of schools and literacy throughout the Greek world, showing that the male city-state Greeks formed the world's first-known mass literate society. He concludes by showing that it was the mass-literate nature of the Greek city-state society that explains the remarkable and influential culture the classical Greeks produced"-- |

He concludes by showing that it was the mass-literate nature of the Greek city-state society that explains the remarkable and influential culture the classical Greeks produced"--</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="648" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Geschichte</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Politische Beteiligung</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4076215-4</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Polis</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4130444-5</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Politisches System</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4046584-6</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Entstehung</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4156614-2</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Alphabetisierung</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4068576-7</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Militär</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4039305-7</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Griechenland</subfield><subfield code="g">Altertum</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4093976-5</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">City-states / Greece / History / To 1500</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Greece / Politics and government / To 146 B.C</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Greece / Civilization / To 146 B.C</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="688" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Griechische Sozialgeschichte</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-2581)TH000006930</subfield><subfield code="2">gbd</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="688" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Griechisches Militärwesen</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-2581)TH000007243</subfield><subfield code="2">gbd</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="688" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Städtewesen, griechisch</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-2581)TH000006757</subfield><subfield code="2">gbd</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Griechenland</subfield><subfield code="g">Altertum</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4093976-5</subfield><subfield code="D">g</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="1"><subfield code="a">Polis</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4130444-5</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Politisches System</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4046584-6</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="3"><subfield code="a">Entstehung</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4156614-2</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Militär</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4039305-7</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="5"><subfield code="a">Politische Beteiligung</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4076215-4</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Alphabetisierung</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4068576-7</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Geschichte</subfield><subfield code="A">z</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="5">DE-604</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Erscheint auch als</subfield><subfield code="n">Online-Ausgabe, PDF</subfield><subfield code="z">978-1-3502-8921-5</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Erscheint auch als</subfield><subfield code="n">Online-Ausgabe</subfield><subfield code="z">978-1-3502-8922-2</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="2"><subfield code="m">Digitalisierung BSB München -

Billows London ; New York ; Oxford ; New Delhi ; Sydney Bloomsbury Academic 2023 xii, 267 Seiten Illustrationen, Karte txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier The origin and early development of the city-state -- Economic growth : a necessary condition for the city-state -- The spear : warfare and the city-state -- The pebble : collective decision making and the city-state -- The scroll : literacy and the city-state -- Conclusion : Literate citizen-warriors and city-state culture -- Appendix 1: A note on the sources -- Appendix 2: Aristotle's Politeiai -- Appendix 3: Overseas settlements and Metropoleis. "This book presents a powerful new argument for how and why the Greek city-states, including their distinctive society and culture, came to be - and why they had the highly unusual and influential form they took. After reviewing early city-state formation, and the economic underpinnings of city-state society, three key chapters examine the way the Greeks developed their unique society. The spear, scroll and pebble encapsulate the book's core ideas. The Spear: city-state Greeks developed a citizen-militia military system that gave relatively equal importance to each citizen-warrior, thereby emboldening the citizen-warriors to demand political rights. The Pebble: the resultant growth of collective political systems of oligarchy and democracy led to thousands of citizens forming the sovereign element of the state; they made political decisions through communal debate and voting. The Scroll: in order for such systems to function, a shared information base had to be created, and this was done by setting up public notices of laws, proposed policies, public meeting agendas, and a host of other information. To access this information, these military and political citizens had to be able to read. Billows examines the spread of schools and literacy throughout the Greek world, showing that the male city-state Greeks formed the world's first-known mass literate society. He concludes by showing that it was the mass-literate nature of the Greek city-state society that explains the remarkable and influential culture the classical Greeks produced"-- Geschichte gnd rswk-swf Politische Beteiligung (DE-588)4076215-4 gnd rswk-swf Polis (DE-588)4130444-5 gnd rswk-swf Politisches System (DE-588)4046584-6 gnd rswk-swf Entstehung (DE-588)4156614-2 gnd rswk-swf Alphabetisierung (DE-588)4068576-7 gnd rswk-swf Militär (DE-588)4039305-7 gnd rswk-swf Griechenland Altertum (DE-588)4093976-5 gnd rswk-swf City-states / Greece / History / To 1500 Greece / Politics and government / To 146 B.C Greece / Civilization / To 146 B.C Griechische Sozialgeschichte (DE-2581)TH000006930 gbd Griechisches Militärwesen (DE-2581)TH000007243 gbd Städtewesen, griechisch (DE-2581)TH000006757 gbd Griechenland Altertum (DE-588)4093976-5 g Polis (DE-588)4130444-5 s Politisches System (DE-588)4046584-6 s Entstehung (DE-588)4156614-2 s Militär (DE-588)4039305-7 s Politische Beteiligung (DE-588)4076215-4 s Alphabetisierung (DE-588)4068576-7 s Geschichte z DE-604 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe, PDF 978-1-3502-8921-5 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 978-1-3502-8922-2 Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=033958807&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis Digitalisierung UB Augsburg - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=033958807&sequence=000003&line_number=0002&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Klappentext |
