Isonomia And The Origins Of Philosophy - 9780822368854

Karatani Kojin questions the canonical glorification of philosophy and democracy in ancient Athens by placing Western philosophy's origins in Ionia, a set of Greek colonies located in present-day Turkey that practiced isonomia--a system based on non-rule and a lack of social divisions whereby equality is realized through individual freedom.
