ABSTRACT
For Pericles’ motto, see note 31 to chapter 10, and text. Plato’s motto is discussed in some detail in notes 33 and 34 to chapter 6, and text.
1. I use the term ‘collectivism’ only for a doctrine which emphasizes the significance of some collective or group, for instance, ‘the state’ (or a certain state; or a nation; or a class) as against that of the individual. The problem of collectivism versus individualism is explained more fully in chapter 6, below; see especially notes 26 to 28 to that chapter, and text.—Concerning ‘tribalism’, cp. chapter 10, and especially note 38 to that chapter (list of Pythagorean tribal taboos).
