So what do we owe wester democracy to Jona? :?
I don't recall much from my limited knowledge of the medieval period that would make me think of the medieval fuedal system as democratic!
I am a little puzzled by some elements of society who seem to be keen on removing any debt or trace of a link to ancient Greece, and Athenian Democracy. I am totally facinated as to whom we actually owe the idea to?
I understood the medieval period owed its grasp of the idea directly to their knowledge of the ancient greeks. Not that they were the originators. I would find any theory that they invented the idea wit hno influence to the Greeks as re-writing history, with all due respect.
