WEDNESDAYS, OCTOBER 5 - DECEMBER 28 (NO CLASS NOVEMBER 23), 12-2 PM. What characteristics do democracies share? How do they differ? And what can alternatives to democracy—namely, authoritarianism and dictatorship—teach us about democracy itself? Democracy and Its Alternatives tackles these questions in 24 lectures designed and led by Ethan Hollander, professor of political science at Wabash College. It is an effort to understand democracy from all available angles—in theory and in practice, from ancient Greece to revolutionary America, the good
and the bad, its present and its future. A Great Courses program facilitated by,Jim Lamal. Fee is $10 and scholarships are available.
