2500 Yıllık Bir Hikâye: Kral “Sus” Dediğinde Vicdan Ne Yapar?

How can a Greek tragedy written 2500 years ago describe today's world so well? Sophocles' Antigone is not just an ancient theatrical text; it remains a powerful text on the state, conscience, law, justice, obedience, fear, and institutions. A king says, "She will not be buried." A young woman says, "This is unjust." And from that moment on, the issue is no longer just a family tragedy, but the oldest question of all societies: Is the law always justice? In this publication, I discuss the link between the rule of law, institutional trust, economic prosperity, and social decay, using Antigone's story as a starting point.
