"Summary
For families of theories of Power
Two theories of sovereignty - justify Power by right, by God or by the people, center of command. Nominalist, allergic to absorption of man. Divine Right implies immutable law, others make law mutable.
Organic theories - justify Power by its end, moral and material cohesion of society, a zone of light or an organ
Theories start hostile to Power and end up helping it." — Mar 28, 2024 12:30AM

“Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break in pieces.”
