Science of the State

“Politics” means

science of the state.

“State” is derived from

the Greek word

πόλις (Polis)

which translated is

city,

the root of the term

πολιτεία (Politeia)

meaning community or commonwealth,

a member of which is

πολίτης (Polites)--

a citizen.

This is the basis

of the philosophy of

the unity of

many individuals together

combined as one,

in a collective sense;

bound together

as a body--

the etymology

of the concept

“e pluribus unum”

the many as one,

the Body Politic,

indivisible--

the principal

State,

or Nation

The bond of unity

required to maintain

an undivided,

and undividable

society

can only be formed and sustained

at the core,

at the rudimentary level

by we who are

who we are;

as distinguished from

the person we project

as ourselves, as a mask;

our veneer.

Only in our authenticity,

in our transparency

is our citizenship real.

Anything short of this is

mechanical,

rote,

automatonic

disingenuous

shallow, and destined

to fail,

being subject to the principle

of divide and conquer.
