Myth of the Cave

SYB #4 on Page 14 Do you agree with Plato’s Myth of the Cave and who should rule government? Why or why not?

Aristotle Aristotle built off of Plato’s ideas​ Examined human belief, thought and knowledge​ Wrote Politics:​ “Man is by nature a political animal; it is his nature to live in a state”​ Importance of citizenship

Aristotle Continued… Believes in Rule of Law (Constitution)​ NOT Tyranny (all the power for one person)​ Ideal form of government:​ Wants people who have time to be educated about politics and take an interest in it to be those who lead.

Democracy Spreads (a little) Democratic ideas seen in Rome Roman Republic (500-27 BCE) Representative democracy Senate With a code of laws (Roman Code)

The Roman Republic (democracy) ends with Julius Caesar taking hold of Rome and building the Roman empire. Democracy is not seen again for centuries, but the legacy is seen in our government today.

For the next 1500+ years philosophy and ideas of democracy faded ​ People turned to religion and faith to explain the world around them​ Catholic Church has lots of political power in Europe.  Rise of Islam – Caliph has religious and political power​ Religion Through the Ages

Kings, also Tsars, Sultans, Emperors, Shahs Based on what we have learned so far…who/what types of government do you think held power during this time?​ Kings, also Tsars, Sultans, Emperors, Shahs Ruler was usually a man who came from a dynasty (a family of rulers):​ Dynasties changed all the time, when kings were defeated and overthrown, but the winners would then set up a new dynasty under one leader.

Refresher “Divine Right”

Divine Right… Most emperors claimed that they had been chosen or blessed by divine power, and that they ruled on behalf of God to keep order and justice in the society.​ This make it very difficult to challenge their authority as you could be killed for speaking or acting out against the church or leader.

Difficulties in Challenging Power​ Unequal social, political, & economic classes​ 90% of the world’s population had to work full-time at farming to produce food, clothing and shelter for everyone.​ Had minimal wealth/possessions​, no education ​ and no political power​ Inspired revolt and first limitation on monarchy in Europe which was? Magna Carta 1215 – England​ Guaranteed basic rights and freedom for nobles (rich) in England – the poor (majority of people) were still without rights​
