“…From a political point of view, however, the issue requires greater nuance given the complexity of its circumstances. Monoson (2003 and bring Theramenes' attitudes closer to those of the mesoi citizens, whose political phronesis would be characterized precisely by a constant attention to legality. Although focused on the Athenaion Politeia, the researchers' perspective can also be applied to the other authors discussed in this paper.…”

This book aims to build a solid and proper contribution to the contemporary global debate on the experience of democracy and its possibilities as the most effective mediator of a series of challenges, a debate that is necessarily rooted in the critical reassessment of its Greek cultural heritage. The book is articulated around the identification of a concrete problem: the need for studies that critically discuss Athenian democracy, seen as a daily problem and practice, based on its staseis (crises) and metabolai (changes), and whose solutions and strategies may still contribute to the reflection on the social, intellectual and ethical-political challenges of contemporary democracy.

“…Being a good citizen calls for disobeying the laws when there ceases to be a difference between the polity's laws and force, when nomos becomes bia. See, for discussion, Frank and Monoson (2003). 12 Winthrop (1975, 410) explains the pun on Larissaeans that names both the people and the artifact.…”

To most readers, Aristotle's many references to nature throughout the first book of thePoliticsimply a foundational role for nature outside and prior to politics. Aristotle, they claim, pairs nature with necessity and, thus, sets nature as a standard that fixes the boundaries of inclusion and exclusion in political life. Through readings of Aristotle on the nature of citizens, slaves, and foreigners in thePolitics, this essay argues, in contrast, that, to Aristotle, nature, especially human nature, is changeable and shaped by politics. Through an analysis of Aristotle's philosophical and scientific treatments of nature in theMetaphysicsandPhysics, this essay demonstrates that in order to preserve what he takes to be characteristic and also constitutive of a distinctively human way of living—prohaireticactivity—Aristotle is especially keen to guard against any assimilation of nature to necessity.

“…Este texto discutirá relatos de quatro autores antigos -Tucídides, Xenofonte, Lísias e Aristóteles (aceitando que se possa designar assim, por comodidade, o autor da Constituição dos Atenienses) -cronologicamente os mais próximos aos eventos envolvendo a personagem e os mais detalhados, a fim de mapear as linhas-mestras que convergiram para tornar Terâmenes paradigmático para o pensamento político grego antigo. Frank & Monoson (2003e 2009 vêem especificamente nos passos da Ath.Pol. relativos a Terâmenes um exercício de "poetic history" por parte de Aristóteles, que estaria interessado em entrever na personagem "possible and plausible futures for Athens ' constitutional development" (2003: 29).…”

Este texto examina a atuação política do ateniense Terâmenes conforme narrada por Tucídides, Xenofonte, Lísias e pela Constituição dos Atenienses atribuída a Aristóteles, a fim de mapear as linhas-mestras que convergiram para tornar Terâmenes paradigmático para o pensamento político grego antigo. As quatro fontes foram selecionadas por serem as cronologicamente mais próximas da personagem dentre as supérstites e, sobretudo, porque condicionaram a recepção de sua trajetória por autores posteriores. O exame almeja pôr em evidência os traços da personagem que fomentaram sua identificação como quintessência do vira-casaca, por um lado, ou do firme legalista, por outro, bem como as implicações dessa postura para a configuração da democracia ateniense no último quarto do século V a.C.
