Reference no: EM13175765

Describe the conditions underlying the rise and fall of democracy in ancient Greece. At what point in the decline of Greek democracy do Socrates and Plato come in, and why were they advancing a return to aristocratic elitism rather than enthusiastic supporters of direct democracy? How can the classical anarchist vision of society (e.g., Kropotkin, Bakunin, and Goldman) be compared to Athenian direct democracy?
