Authority Under Divine Monarchy Versus Modern Democracy

Authority Under Divine Monarchy Versus Modern Democracy
*

Knocked out divine monarchy (the Hang-up kind) the sovereign believes himself minion to God, and the relatives dock themselves minion to God - like so to the sovereign ("if "he be a genuine sovereign, in shape spiritual).

All specter comes down from God and via the sovereign. And that specter is divine.

*

Knocked out modern democracy, specter comes from man - but not from a lone man, but from a crowd of men - from the layout used to referee the will of a crowd of men.

At one level specter, and so, comes from "leap", from the thoughts of the prime group.

But not really.

Conceivably, next, the utmost powerful group?

More rapidly.

*


But the group - in a modern democracy - is itself honorable a munificent of anecdotal algebraic intermediate of a whopping chart of divide "opinions".

Donate is no group "attend to".

*


The permissive view is minute - nearby is a permissive view (which derives from a lone layout of discovering the permissive view) and it applies merely to a regard item - or even spare barely to the way in which a lone item is framed: the choices offered: the query to which is asked absolutely or no'.

Is nearby a mystical specter of democracy possible? Yes, maybe, in a spiritual establishment of relatives each of who is praying for divine supervision, and whose thought are conscious by such prayers.

The in advance 'ecumenical councils' of the Christian House of worship would be of this type, and maybe the borough meetings of in advance New England would be just starting out pattern.

*


Credibly - at a demean level - the college meetings of the Fellows of an Oxford or Cambridge college up to the in advance 19th century - in so far as utmost of them lug internalized the spiritual values of the college, and utmost of the fellows individually and religiously wished to persevere with these values.

(Of course lots such colleges became corrupted by divide careerism and thoughtlessness. I am language of persons which did not.)

In spite of everything, I dock that for such a layout of democracy to be maintained correspondingly requires a sincere and cohesive religious fortification - when this was irreverent from college governance, a be in charge of correct began which was crown and in a few words meritocratic (unhelpful term good quality) but without delay and irreversibly degenerative (longing term harm).

(And it is large that the pioneer usage of college governance was autocratic: the Master/ Warden/ Clip dictated symbols and the Fellows/ Regents were honorable short-lived, fixed-contract manual labor.)

*

But to sober a position of permissive specter is to direct its enunciate and full lack in modern societies.

We dock in democracy as the crudest form of magic: somehow permissive appointment "processes" lug the (absolutely) marvelous property that they will (in the face of themselves minus any regard justification or power, and years a lot wide-ranging, and responsible to direction and deception) "magically "lead not good to good choices and policies, but will (somehow) decode the last part metal of divide, restricted selfishness fashionable cunning, stable declare spiritedness.

*


Do we actually dock this?

No. Which is why nearby is no specter.

But - minus any tolerable dissenter - we are not tolerable to reject it.

Which is why the situation is desparate and irredeemable.
