  • Kim Eunjoong

Abstract

This paper will investigate the possibilities of democracy in East Asia. It will examine the conditions behind the genesis of democracy in ancient Greece. And will relate this to the emergence of reason and the hypothetic deductive system. It will then contrast the growth of Western rationality with Eastern traditions of logic in order to determine how appropriate Western styles of democracy are to the Asian situation.
