MORE ON THE TEN COMMANDMENTS(lower class), NATURAL LAW(middle class), AND TRUTH, GOODNESS, AND BEAUTY(aristocracy): OUR POLYTHEISM, ISN”T.
We could also state the prohibitions in the ten commandments and natural law, as demands: truth, goodness, beauty.
Again we see that Athens speaks to middle and upper classes while Jerusalem/Memphis/Babylon speaks to women and slaves.
But b/c men are unequal perhaps we need to know both sides of the coin: the negative prohibitions and the positive demands.
This is not so much polytheism as reminding each class of its priorities. The poor may not make commons but cannot harm.
And the wealthy need not so much avoid harm as fail to construct commons, rather than engage in hyperconsumption.
(Thank you for the opportunity to go through this subject since it’s so terribly important for all of us.)
