Innovative and engaging, The Threshold of Democracy: Athens in 403 B.C. explores the intellectual dynamics of democracy by recreating the historical context that shaped its evolution.

 

Part of the “Reacting to the Past” series, this text consists of elaborate games in which students are assigned roles, informed by classic texts, set in particular moments of intellectual and social ferment.   Issues of the time are sorted out by a polity fractured into radical and moderate democrats, oligarchs, and Socratics, among others.

  • This inexpensive text can be used on its own or as a supplementary text.
  • Important historical readings, such as Plato’s Republic, as well as excerpts from Thucydides, Xenophon, and other contemporary sources, fuel student debates.
  • “Reacting” improves speaking, writing and leadership skills, promotes engagement with classic texts and history, and builds learning communities.
  • Students “run” each game, which includes multiple roles for classes.
  • “Reacting” can be used for a wide variety of curricular and institutional purposes—as the foundation for a first-year general education, an upper-class “capstone” experience, the discussion component of a large lecture class, or be enlisted for intersession courses, honors programs, and other specialized curricular purposes.
