Antigone, the
Melian Dialogue of Thucydides, Heinrich von Kleist’s novella
Michael Kohlhaas, Fyodor Dostoevsky’s
The Grand Inquisitor and E.L. Doctorow’s
Ragtime novel, taking into account the relevant interdisciplinary aspects of the narratives. His study of these four narrations focuses on key political concepts, such as might and right, self-interest, legality and justice, the nation-state and democracy, and relates them compellingly to current actuality.
