...Man...

...is a tame or civilized animal...

 ...never the less...

...he requires proper instruction and a fortunate nature... 

...and then of all animals he becomes the most divine and most civilized... 

...but if he be insufficiently or ill - educated... 

...he is the most savage of earthly creatures...

- Plato -

A N A M N E S I A

...It is the idea that humans possess innate knowledge...

...perhaps acquired before birth...

...and that learning consists of rediscovering that knowledge within us...

...One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed... 

...by your inferiors...

- Plato -
