Kōjin Karatani 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.
