Through a blend of lively detail and elegant narration, James Faubion
immerses us in the cosmopolitan intellectual life of Athens, a
centerless city of multiplicities and fragmentations, a city on the
"margins of Europe" recovering from the repressive rule of a military
junta. Drawing inspiration from Athens and its cultural elite, Faubion
explores the meaning of modernity, finding it not in the singular
character of "Western civilization" but instead in an increasingly
diverse family of practices of reform.
