Plato's Republic

[dave dorkin]

I'll try this a bit differntly; I think the selection
of fundamentals themselves is largely a function of
that coercion and that what one enforces is in fact
directly related to that selection. I remain agnostic
as to whether must be true everywhere and always and
note that to the extent that one has different enough
conceptions in the same polity, the polity breaks down
as antinomical conceptions can not coexist peacefully.
If you want specifics, I'll give it a shot...
