Max Weber Im Antiken Athen Michael Krieger German edition

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Sozialwissenschaften allgemein, Note: 2,0, Europa-Universität Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder) (Kulturwissenschaftliche Fakultät), Veranstaltung: Einführung in die politische Systemanalyse: Die athenische Demokratie, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Max Weber, one of the most important German philosophers on the beginning of the 20th century and his theory of policy leadership will be adapted to the control of demagogues at the antique Athens to the time of the Athenian historian Demosthenes. I will show what and where demagogues were at the antique Athens and describe Weber's theory of policy leadership which he told in his lecture in the year 1919 called "Politik als Beruf" (policy as profession) and bring both together to examine whether Weber's theory will explain the control von demagogues. Due to the fact that Weber is as well describing demagogues and perfect rhetoric as an indispensable necessity to enforce somebody to a policy leader and as well the modification of Weber's assertions that a policy leader needs entourage, charisma and a sort of disempowerment to his supporters to save his position in the peer-group tells me that Weber's theory is fitting the question to the control of demagogues at the antique Athens to the time of the Athenian historian Demosthenes.
