Quoted text:
Democratic Theory
The democrats never responded with a temperament theory of their own. What they did was simply to maintain the tradition of Nemesis, the fair “divider” and avenger of hubris and arrogance of the wealthy. [Omitted text:] (I will leave to Chapter 9 an elaboration of how distributive justice was sanctified by religion.)
Theory of temperament = BALANCE.
Subordination of individual egoism—above all that of self-promotion and wealth-seeking—to the common weal.
[/End of omitted text]
Originally here was more text that may be notes:
1. At the end of the paragraph ending with “the wealthy.” was added this parenthetical:
(I will leave to Chapter 9 an elaboration of how distributive justice was sanctified by religion.)
Note that Chapter 9 may have been meant to be Chapter 8 due to renumbered chapters; check when Chapter 8 is fleshed out more.
2. Two further paragraphs of notes after the first paragraph in this section that give hints at how to flesh out this stub section were:
Theory of temperament = BALANCE.
Subordination of individual egoism—above all that of self-promotion and wealth-seeking—to the common weal.
Can you help us enact what was hinted at here?
