520 "Fairness and equity, universal rights and freedoms,
representative, balanced, democratic governance, the
notion that no one is above the law-- these are ideas many
of us cherish in the modern world. But where did they come
from? According to some scholars, these features of
modernity have their roots in the period between 800 and
200 BCE. In this "Axial Age," they state, crucial
intellectual, moral, and political changes took place more
or less simultaneously in five core regions across Eurasia,
reaching from present-day Greece, Israel-Palestine, Iran
and India to China. Seshat History of the Axial Age
challenges the view that there was a single Axial Age in
human history. Applying insights from a massive historical
research project, Seshat: Global History Databank, the
volume reveals that societies all over the world
gravitated more strongly towards egalitarian ideals and
constraints on political authority--traits usually
associated with axiality--as they reached a tipping point
in the evolution of social complexity. In fourteen
chapters, the authors survey earlier and later periods in
history as well as developments in regions previously
neglected in Axial Age discussions, thus expanding the
Axial Age debate well beyond first-millennium BCE Eurasia.
They explore whether there really was an Axial Age, where
and when key changes that characterize modern life
actually developed, and what drove societies to become
more equitable and law-bound."--|cProvided by publisher.
