Wouldn’t It Be Cool If: we learned from PHILOSOPHY?
WIBCI POLITICS did?
But Socrates argues against democracy on philosophic grounds, consistent with his ethical theory. He maintained that most people remained unhappy souls, unaware of the true good. As such they were liable to vote into power leaders who also had a mistaken idea about the good.
-Paul Strathern, Socrates in 90 Minutes
What do YOU think of this idea that without focusing on truly knowing themselves, people will perpetuate their unhappiness in the candidates they vote for? Do you think there exist such political self-fulfilling-prophecies? Is knowing what true good is, important?
