Introduction
A discussion whose starting and focal point is the “Greek Democracy” of Rigas Velestinlis.
Photo: Yiannis Soulis
To what extent does Rigas' "politeia" express the constitutional quests of modernity?
How does it differ from them? Is it perhaps a utopian vision wrought from his personal ideological quests?
Questions and answers which take Rigas Velestinlis' 'Hellenic Republic' as their starting and their center point.
