Parrhesia is democracy’s concept of communication for thinking and practice, knowledge-building and wise choices, a product of hundreds of years of development of thought and society, which culminated for a period of only about 50 years.
What made all their talents? How did they think about knowledge of development, freedom, leadership and duty, competition and honor? These are questions still as relevant today.
