Isonomia and the Origins of Philosophy Karatani Kojin
In Isonomia and the Origins of Philosophy-published originally in Japanese and now available in four languages-Kōjin Karatani questions the idealization of ancient Athens as the source of philosophy and democracy by placing the origins instead in Ionia, a set of Greek colonies located in present-day Turkey. He finds in isonomia a model for how an egalitarian society not driven by class antagonism might be put into practice, and resituates Socrates's work and that of his intellectual heirs as the last philosophical attempts to practice isonomia's utopic Contrasting Athenian democracy with Ionian isonomia-a system based on non-rule and a lack of social divisions whereby equality is realized through the freedom to immigrate-Karatani shows how early Greek thinkers from Heraclitus to Pythagoras were inseparably linked to the isonomia of their Ionian origins, not democracy.
