Solon the thinker : political thought in archaic Athens

John Lewis
"In Solon the Thinker John Lewis presents the hypothesis that Solon saw Athens as a self-governing, self-supporting system akin to the early Greek conceptions of the cosmos. Solon's polis functions neither by divine intervention nor the force of a tyrant, but by its own natural, self-governing internal energy."--Jacket
