Zira demokrasi, insanların eleştirel bir bakış açısına sahip oldukları zaman işler; demokrasi kültürü, insanlar olayları farklı yönlerden görebilmeyi, kendilerini ve başkalarını sorgulayabilmeyi öğrendiklerinde yerleşir. Demokrasi ancak insanlar bağnaz olmayıp önyargısız ve hoşgörülü olabildikleri zaman yürür

Ötekine de bir değer, en azından eşit saygı ve muameleyi hak eden bir ahlaki değer olarak bakabilmeyi, yalnızca felsefi bir bakış açısı öğretebilir. İnsanlara bu temel alışkanlıkları ve erdemleri kazandıracak olan şey de yalnızca felsefedir, felsefi bir bakış açısıdır.

In war practice dissimulation, and you will succeed.
Kirari
Dissimulation refers to the act of concealing your true intentions, plans, or movements. In a military context, this involves misleading your enemy through deception, false signals, or strategic ambiguity.
The goal is to keep your adversary guessing, preventing them from effectively countering your move
We shall be unable to turn natural advantage to account unless we make use of local guides
Kirari
The quote underscores that success is not solely about individual strength or resources but also about leveraging the knowledge and experience of others who are familiar with the context. Without this, even natural advantages can be wasted.
Sapiens are relatively weak animals, whose advantage rests in their ability to cooperate in large numbers. If so, we should expect that dependent women, even if they are dependent on men, would use their superior social skills to cooperate to outmanoeuvre and manipulate aggressive, autonomous and self-centred men.
Kirari
How did it happen that in the one species whose success depends
above all on cooperation, individuals who are supposedly less
cooperative (men) control individuals who are supposedly more
cooperative (women)? At present, we have no good answer. Maybe the common assumptions are just wrong. Maybe males of the species Homo sapiens are characterised not by physical strength, aggressiveness and competitiveness, but rather by superior social skills and a greater tendency to cooperate. We just don’t know.
To make things less confusing, scholars usually distinguish between ‘sex’, which is a biological category, and ‘gender’, a cultural category.
Kirari
Sex is divided between males and females, and the qualities of this
division are objective and have remained constant throughout history. Gender is divided between men and women (and some cultures recognise other categories). So-called ‘masculine’ and ‘feminine’ qualities are inter-subjective and undergo constant changes. For example, there are far-reaching differences in the behaviour, desires, dress and even body posture expected from women in classical Athens and women in modern Athens.6
