- Abstract:
- These are the slides from a talk given at the JACT Summer School, Bryanston, on 1/8/2018. How did ancient Greek writers and poets use imaginary cities to think about how to live well, what kind of community to develop, and how to maintain relationships between individual, community and cosmos? From Homer to Aristotle, the imaginary city provides an opportunity to think about the kind of society that would deliver a stable community, and a means of critiquing existing political organisations.
