A HIERARCHY OF DEFINITIONS: ARISTOCRACY

Rule by Aristocracy : rule by natural aristocracy: the best able to *rule*.

–“The concept evolved in Ancient Greece, whereby a council of leading citizens was commonly empowered. Aristocracy was contrasted with direct democracy, in which a council of male citizens was appointed as the “senate” of a city state or other political unit.”—

HIERARCHY

(1) AMBITION: Hero, or Heroic man, a man who seeks to demonstrate his excellences through competition, in exchange for status for having contributed to the strength of the polity. (ambition)

(2) DEVELOPMENT: Aristocrat : An ‘Aesthete’ (judge of and creator of excellence) in all things: aesthetics, truth, ethics, politics, and war. An individual who advocates aristocracy – includes all men of all classes who desire both rule by the best able to rule: by those who by virtue of talent and aesthetic choice are best able to rule, and persist the aesthetic excellences; and who desire to best imitate those who they desire to rule.

(3) DEMONSTRATION: Nobility: Natural Aristocracy (the bourgeoise or managerial class that makes liberty possible, and who retains excellence, ability and power across generations)

(4) ACHIEVEMENT: Superior or Great Man, or Virtuous Man: a man who succeeds in demonstrating his excellences through competition, and whose achievements survive in the record of history.

(5) TRANSCENDENT: Transcendent man: an ambition to evolve to the next step in our journey to become our concept of gods.
