Isoi and Homoioi: equality and sameness in T.H. Green's political thought

Hann, M.J.

Abstract

T.H. Green was clear that rights cannot exist, save for in a society, in which people recognise each other as ἴσοι καὶ ὅμοιοι. Green leaves the phrase untranslated, and there is a certain ambiguity about what exactly Green meant. This paper aims to examine what precisely Green meant by his employment of this Greek term; what equality and sameness mean for rights recognition; and what the relationship between equality and sameness was for Green.
