The essence of Political wisdom

The essence of political wisdom is the ability to sight the community as a whole. This presupposes a cosmological view (Theoria). An ability to stay on the top of the world and gaiz the society through omniscientic eyes. In the old story about Prometheus and Epimetheus, Prometheus gives the humans the godly ability to handle fire and the arts, but he could not steal the political wisdom from Zevs. Still, human has the possibility to know the different between personal and common interests, but we end up to be novis when it comes to political wisdom. There is no political wisdom without metaphysic and the “not being in the world”.

Acceptance or control

To accept is be satisfied with what you have, without being satisfied. It is a denial of desire, but also a desire to deny yourself something. To accept yourself is an active will to be strong in your self. To be king in yourself, without mastering or controll. To accept your feeling is to act with them, it is not to solve the feelings. To accept others are to meet other without assessment or evaluation. Assessment or evaluation is not part of a helping relationship, it is a will to controll others. Accept and sophrosyne is the ground of becoming good. This is as close as possible to freedom as the opposite of control. To accept is letting go of the desire to control.

Harmony, Balance or Mastery

The world may be understood as paradoxal. A Platonic experience of dualities that does not add up. Human being will always be in the dialectic between change and immutability, between unity and diversity and between equality and differences. The human possibility of being human is to be in balance in the dualities.
The other worldview understand the world as solvable. A hybris experience of conquest. The dualities will be solved. Between natur and human, between words and reality, between human knowledge and action, between life and death. The human possibility to be human is to master the world.
