TMM Annotation

According to Socrates: Rulers, Auxiliaries and Craftsmen

Talks about this idea of being brothers with different frames of gold, brass and iron and how he can convince future generations of their status. (Tell a man and his offspring that they’re rich for generations then they will be socialized to believe they’re rich and that this is their class. The same is true of poverty)

He basically told people, “Stay in your lane.”

Biological determinism – Shared behavioral norms and the social and economic groups – primarily races, classes and sexes arise from inherited, inborn distinctions and that society in this sense is an accurate reflection of biology

not the case

Science is free from social and political taint right?

Science in support of the outcome rather than the science being null and void and anticipating no outcome

Making nature an accomplice in political inequality

The writer is a practicing scientist

Problems

  1. Enormous social importance but limited reliable info – Only a description of social changes
  2. What questions are being asked? And how are they validating social preferences

His aim is to redo the science of these areas

PvF Annotation

Pure Black vs pure white

Having mixed people violate laws in order to challenge how the case should be handled

Disguised slavery and pay that reflected that

Interest of freedom in the same ways there was an interest in slavery

The switch in roles from democratic vs republican

Adhering to the law but violating its spirit

Civil Rights vs Social and Political Rights

A look at this book alludes to why the mismeasure of a man is important. There are so many intricacies of policy and how things are defined.

The slaughter house cases prove this. Need for expansion and scope
