Topic: Council Of The Night

1 chapters across the catalog

The discussion traces modern technocratic control back to Plato's "The Republic," which proposed a "Council of the Night" as a secret oligarchical government. Plato's concept of the "Noble Lie" is presented as a necessary religious or narrative myth used by the ruling class to maintain social order. The "Philosopher King" model suggests that only those with high-level mathematical and self-control training are fit to rule.
