다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this paper is to help to clarify some of the questions on the Athenian political institutions and its operating principles. Also it attempts to study, with contemporary confusion over the mass democracy in mind, the participation of Athenian citizens in public affairs. Contrary to the contemporary demand as expressed by Perikles that one who takes no interest in public affairs is a useless character in the democratic society, a big D. K. group exists actually in the modern society. This problem should be solved for the effective operation of democracy.
The result of this study led to the following conclusions. The Athenian direct democratic institutions are not practicable in the modern world. However, the principles of its operation and ideals of its system are very useful elements even in the modern society. That is to say, much interest for citizens in public offairs, sound judges of a policy by the people, the great respect for laws, ruling not by men but by the institutions, the views on the freedom of speech, the senses on the decision of the majority, the notion of freedom by the participation. All these principles and ideals must be the important elements that are considered and appraised for the effective operation of democracy even in the modern times.
