Anti-demokratik metinler: Demokrasiyi itinayla iteleme araçları

Bu sayfada elimden geldiğince ve karşılaştığımca demokrasi karşıtı metinleri paylaşacağım. Öncelikle tavsiye etmem gerekenler, elbette Platon’un Devlet‘i, Aristoteles’in Politika‘sı ve Polybius’un Tarihler‘i. Bunlardan sonra da Cicero’nun De Re Publica’sı. Bu dört metin sizi Eskiçağ’daki demokrasi eleştirisine ilişkin yeterince doyuracaktır, keza ilgili tag’leri bloğumda da arayabilir ve bu metinlerden hareketle değindiğim demokrasi eleştirisini okuyabilirsiniz. Yine blogda ve sosyal medyada sık paylaştığım Loren J. Samons’un “Demokrasinin Nesi Var?” başlıklı eserini de Yunan demokrasisi nezdinde Amerikan usulü demokrasiye getirilmiş eleştiriler için okuyabilirsiniz.

Aşağıda paylaşacağım metinlerin pdf / html / doc, vs. hallerini buldukça paylaşıp, künyenin yanında yeşil font ile belirteceğim. İyi okumalar ve iyi çalışmalar.
