I couldn’t pass up blogging on this issue. The first article linked to below, by Geoff Richards, nearly says it all for me, particularly on parental irresponsibility and the contemporary trend to pass the buck by filing a lawsuit.

Below are links to three short reaction paper-type essays that I have written so far this semester for a seminar I am taking on Roman political philosophy. They are only my preliminary thoughts on the underlying causes of Rome’s rise and fall. A fourth short paper will follow in about a week and a half, and in a month or so I will revise and consolidate my thoughts in a 20-25 page final paper. The usual caveats for my reaction papers applies; there may be errors or gaps in the argument that will be fixed or filled in at a later date. These short 5-7 page double spaced papers don’t really provide enough space to make the arguments I want to make, but I try to do what I can and provide a small slice of the fuller argument I intend to make in my final paper.

Roman Imperialism and the Murder-Suicide of Classical Civilization

On Roman Liberty, Virtue, and Eudaimonia

On Tyranny, Virtue, and Habituation to Subjection
