Democracy automatically creates two classes of people

Reference no: EM1391419

Aristophanes is right in The Clouds: democracy automatically creates two classes of people--knaves and fools-and if it were not for support it gets from knaves and fools, there would be no such thing as democracy." To what degree, if any, is this true? In replying to this topic, ensure that you conceive of "democracy" in way which is useful in thinking of Aristophanes' play. Do not just turn to dictionary definitions; they are simply places to start in thinking about concepts you are using. And notice: this topic is about ideas presented in play, having to do with general concept of "democracy"; it is not about specific political issues in modern "democratic" world. Some short examples of them may be all right as illustrations, but do not get carried away with discussing them.
