Article: Academic Politics between Democracy and Aristocracy

Then, as today, in Greece: Michael S. Kochin (Tel Aviv University), "Academic Politics between Democracy and Aristocracy" ("Political Research Quarterly", 64 [2], June 2011: pp. 247-59).

Quote: "Socrates' alternative to democracy is thus an academic rather than an aristocratic elite - an elite of those who know. Yet the academic elite Plato imagined does not dispute the right of the people to decide between it, the aristocrats, and the men of the people."
