- Syllabus
- Preliminarily about the "heritage" of Greek Antiquity.
- The act of settling down (the heritage of the Bronze Era). The mythical ("dark") time and its aristocratic ethos. The archaic roots of the origin of the "polis". The Spartan and the Athenian solutions (what is "honour", "virtue", "self-assertion" in a society).
- Classical time, or also about "hegemony", peculiarities of "democracy" and its criticism. (Herodotus, Thucydides. The Athens of Pericles, the Peloponnesian Wars. Xenophon. Plato's double society model.)
- The end of Greek independence and the decline of the polis, or the escape into individualism. Ethics as politics? (Aristotle.) The Socratic Schools.
- Hellenism. (Within the imperial boundaries the "Epicurean garden" and a "Stoic calmness".)
- A "sociology of morals" -- is'nt it another reductionism and relativism?

- Czech
