Egyptian Pharaoh Standing Army
1,640 words
After the fall of the Middle Kingdom of Egypt a
group of nomadic people from Asia invaded and
captured Lower Egypt. These people were called the
Hyksos. Egypt lacked a standing army and their
weapons were far inferior to that of the invaders.
The weak rulers of the Thirteenth Dynasty led to
an internal struggle within the government, thus
ripping the empire into many small factions and
leaving it open to attack. During this time a
group of peoples from Asia immigrated to Egypt and
slowly began t...

to very high office because they were open-handed

either you are already an established ruler or you
are trying to become a ruler. In the first case,
open-handedness is harmful; in the second, it is
certainly necessary to be thought open-handed.

Definition Of Justice Socrates Claims
1,930 words
Most normal individuals in the modern world would
assume that all books written, not published, by
man are based on either a portion of the authors
imagination, an event (biased or non-biased) in
either history or during the life of the author, a
straight-out autobiography, or a generalized
biography of another person they once knew.
However, this philosophical novel fits none of the
descriptions above. The book is actually an
in-depth recording of a philosophy contest between
Plato's teacher So...

In Machiavelli's The Prince readers are provided
with powerful insights to becoming a successful
ruler. Niccolo breaks down into steps what a ruler
must take into account in order to control the
masses. The character of Lago in Shakespeare's
Othello seems to have studied and acted through
Machiavelli's teachings. Throughout the entire
play his intentions towards empowerment are shown.

Machiavelli's class with all his cunning and

Form Of Government Fear Of Death

... e power cannot be taken from the ruler or
assembly of men and given to another. If this is
done, then the covenant would have been broken,
and according to Hobbes, breaking a covenant is
injustice. In making the covenant to give
authority to the sovereign, they have also every
man given the sovereignty to him that bears their
person, and therefore if they depose him, they
take from him that which is his own, and so again
it is injustice (413). Hobbes agrees that the
sovereign can commit iniq...

An essay on Plato's The Republic and Aristophanes
the Birds It is evident, by Plato's The Republic
and Aristophanes The Bird's, that one's vision of
an ideal state is not the same mystical utopia.
Plato's Republic is an well-ordered society that
emphasizes the development of the community, which
leads to its people believing in this philosophy.
Cloudcuckooland, the idea of two lazy Athenians,
is an unorganized society that lacks the substance
to make it a workable society. I would much rather

France is a country that has been shaped by
revolution. The 1848 revolution is very unique in
that it was probably the least bloody of all the
revolutions in French history. Like most, if not
all, the regimes before it the July Monarchy was
toppled in 1848 because it became illegitimate in
the eyes of the public. In his book Recollections,
Tocqueville writes that the major cause for the
revolution of 1848 was the animosity the working
class people felt for the ruling bourgeoisie.

Acquires His Power Power Through Other Means Ruler

Virtu: The Successful Leader The ruler that comes
to rule as a citizen-ruler by virtu will be more
successful than a ruler that comes to power by
other means. According to Machiavelli, a
citizen-ruler is one that comes to rule solely on
the basis of his own abilities or virtu. He has
done and will continue to do whatever it takes to
continue his rule. There are many differences
between a ruler that acquires power through virtu
and a ruler that acquires power through other
means such as heredity ...
