Question

Explain the salient features of Greek Political Thought

Answer 1

The students of Western political thought generally, with great interest, study the ancient political thought of ancient Greece and it is believed that there are reasons behind this.

Some reasons may briefly be slated here. In the first place the Greek philosophers in their search for knowledge in general and political philosophy in particular pointed out some basic concepts such as nature of state, its origin, administration, relation between state and individual in their analysis.

Though the contents of these concepts have undergone sea-changes during the past two millennia, we still study them because they evoke our interests.

In the second place, the ancient Greek thinkers, it is said, drew a difference between legitimate use of power and indiscriminate use of power or application of force. The Greek thinkers believed that application of force for the realization of objective is uncalled for.

Answer 2

Answer is given below

Explanation:

• Ancient Greek political thought differs from the thinking of other ancient nations such as Egypt, Babylonia, Syria, Persia, India, China, etc.
• It is a book of purely political nature. On the other hand, ancient civilizations combined political ideas with myths and religious literature.
• For example, the Ramayana, Mahabharata and Manu Smriti of India deal with political issues which are not purely political texts. They are mainly religious works in which political ideas intersect with religion and myth, and special efforts must be made to separate politics from religion.
• There are many independent texts on the study of political issues in Greek political thought.
