According to Plato, change that happens from one opposite to another must also happen in the other direction. Death must not only come from life, but life must also come from death. • But, what about other kinds of opposites? What about opposites like justice and injustice? Even if justice comes from injustice, even if society can become more just over time, does that mean that injustice must also come from justice? If we could establish a perfectly just society, then would the moral degeneration of that society be inevitable? • In this video, we will consider these questions by contrasting the linear conception of progress more familiar to modern people with the cyclical understanding held by the ancients – an understanding known as “Anacyclosis.” • For the pdf document used in this video see: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jt1v...
