A few insightful words taken form Plato's Republic. Empowering, eh, the thought that the decisions and consequent actions of the individual can have an impact on something larger. Even as large as the whole of society. Or perhaps this suggests that it requires a more collective effort to make a difference, the conglomerate force of a myriad of unique persons. Regardless, it still all starts with the individual. With each person deciding that they want to make a difference, to contribute to something larger.
And I guess that is what I am doing here... Allow me an introduction. I am naught more than a person committed to always remaining a student in one way or another; someone committed to a greater sense of understanding and the pursuit of knowledge. And in turn, I am finally finding time to share my own thought and insights with whoever feels the need to listen, or I suppose I should say, read.
I am not as educated as most, but I have spent a bit of time among experts (at least they are in my opinion) in the fields of political theory, current events, international relations, intelligence, and other similar components of the social sciences. This blog will simply be an outlet for all that I have studied, all that I have experienced, and all that I continue to learn. And by the title, you'd be right to assume that I may be delving a bit into the theoretical side of political affairs and the human condition.... though not exclusively...
So I wish you all the best. Please critique all that you read. I embrace criticism, and welcome debate. In no way am I an expert in any sense, just another individual trying to contribute the best he can. I have a burning passion for much of this material (if not all of it), and I encourage each reader to help stoke the fire.
Believe in the Kallipolis. Exist in the Metaxy. And let's see how immanent the Eschaton can really be.
Enjoy.
