Re: RE: Totalitarian (the word)
Title: Re: [PEN-L:26387] RE: Totalitarian (the
word)
James Devone wrote:
Plato's
"totalitarianism" really only applies --to the extent that
it really does -- to the Guardians (who are brainwashed, lack
individual property, control over who they marry,
etc.)...
So, you regard Socrates' prescriptions--equality between the
sexes, abolition
of private property and the patriarchal family, higher education,
etc.--as prescriptions for *totalitarianism*?

"When we read on a printed page the doctrine of Pythagoras that
all things are made of numbers, it seems mystical, mystifying, even
downright silly.
When we read on a computer screen the doctrine of Pythagoras that
all things are made of numbers, it seems self-evidently true."
