Abstract

Democratic regime in Athens, legislative, executive and judiciary are also defined as the unbounded sovereignty of demos. As Aristotle puts, democracy as a regime fed from liberty and no one rule, is day to day inspiration through all its powerful and functioning aspects; but some unique aspects of Athens' democracy have led to a number of problems that weaken and destabilize it from the inside. In this study, the characteristic and reflections of leitourgia, sykophantēs and ostrakismos practices, which have been largely addressed in the context of history discipline and which have been partially neglected, in general in terms of political philosophy, in particular democracy debates, will be open to debate. The main point to be emphasized in this study, how these practices undermine the democratic regime contrary to expectation in time, it will be tried to be discussed modestly and kept light on the weak venter of regime by nourishing the philosophical, literary and theatrical sources.

Özet

Atina demokratik rejimi, yasama, yürütme ve yargı da demos’un sınırlandırılmamış egemenliği olarak tanımlanır. Aristoteles’in de ifade ettiği gibi, hiç kimsenin hükmetmediği, özgürlükten beslenen bir rejim olarak demokrasi tüm güçlü ve işleyen yönleriyle günümüze ilham kaynağı olsa da; Atina demokrasisinin kendine has bazı yönleri onu içeriden zayıflatan ve istikrarsızlaştıran bir takım problemlerin de doğmasına yol açabilmiştir. Bu çalışmada çoğunlukla tarih disiplini bağlamında ele alınmış ve genelde politik felsefe, özelde de demokrasi tartışmaları söz konusu olduğunda kısmen ihmal edilmiş olan leitourgíai, sykophántēs ve ostrakismós uygulamalarının özellikleri ve yansımaları tartışılmaya açılacaktır. Çalışmada üzerinde durulacak temel nokta, Atina’da yürürlükte olan bu uygulamaların zamanla beklentinin aksine nasıl demokratik rejimin altını oyan uygulamalar halini aldığı; felsefi, edebi ve teatral kaynaklardan da beslenerek mütevazı bir şekilde tartışılmaya ve rejimin zayıf karnına ışık tutulmaya çalışılacaktır.
