The Revolution To Come

If you think “revolution” was invented in 1789, think again—Thucydides was already warning us about it 2,400 years ago. In this dynamic online forum, Dan Edelstein, Professor of French at Stanford University, is joined by classical-political heavyweights Josiah Ober, Professor of Political Science and Classics at Stanford University, and Melissa Lane, Professorship of Politics at Princeton University, to excavate the deep past of an idea that still jolts headlines and rattles parliaments.

Long before crowds stormed Bastille or Winter Palace, Greek thinkers treated revolution as the ultimate civic nightmare. So how did an existential danger morph into a promise of liberation—and what happens when that promise curdles into violence?

Taking place on June 19th at 11:30am EDT (New York time).

We’ll discuss whether the ancients can help us spot the tipping point between reform and rupture, whether our present craving for “systemic change” replays a very old drama... and ask if stability might be the most radical choice of all?

Be ready to rethink everything you thought you knew about revolution...
