It say philosophy and essays. This fits into philosophy.This is a new low for the supposed essay forum.
Note, a very large part of current political talk is about setting one group against another.This is a new low for the supposed essay forum.
Most of them are longform even if they're videos or reposted articles, not just a random picture you found on reddit. Wouldn't be surprised if your next thread was a Wojak comic.And you should look at other threads here...
Difference is however that Romans deliberately avoided having different tribes / ethnicities mix, and cities where that did happen (specifically, large port cities such as Rome and Constantinople) were well known as hotbeds of crime.I mean multi-cultural societies often run into quite a bit of bother.
But…multi-ethnic ones can achieve a surprising grandeur if properly united.

So you have to differentiate between multi-ethnic societies (e.g. Roman Empire, quite few medieval kingdoms) and societies practicing DEEVERZEETAY.
???From the borders of Scotland to the sands of Arabia, there were those who called themselves Roman. Especially after Caracalla'a reforms, that sounds multi-ethnic to me.
In particular, he proposed a "mathematical" system of voting in which every voter cast a vote, but that those votes were systematically weighted so that the votes of the meritorious nobility had much greater value than those of the less worthy common citizens.

If they called themselves Romans, weren't they a single ethnicity?
I don't get it ...
That means that they accepted a single political identity. And possibly a single ethnic identity as well. In neither case does it prove that Romans had in fact implemented modern leftist idea of a "diverse" society.From the borders of Scotland to the sands of Arabia, there were those who called themselves Roman.

Although that did come with the condition of the abject supremacy of the Emperor and Roman law, something modern progressives cannot tolerate.

Every other philosopher was wrong about science.If you're going to quote Aristotle, it's worth pointing out that Aristotle also held that the city took precedence over the family, the family over the individual, and that the fundamental purpose of the city was to enable its highest and most valuable citizens the possibility of living a good and virtuous life. In particular, he proposed a "mathematical" system of voting in which every voter cast a vote, but that those votes were systematically weighted so that the votes of the meritorious nobility had much greater value than those of the less worthy common citizens.
Also worth pointing out that pretty much everything Aristotle ever said about the biology, medicine, and in general the physical sciences is categorically wrong. Which may, perhaps, incline one to consider that his more theoretical opinions should be taken with several grains of salt.
Yes and no. Aristotle's metaphysical views were an evolution of Plato's theory of "form", and held that reality did exist, but that every physical thing (ousia) was made up of a combination of physical matter and immaterial form, with the immaterial form being the more important of the two. To properly understand reality, Aristotle held, one should make systematic observation of the matter objects in the world in order to discern the underlying form; but once you understood the proper form of things, this understanding overrode the observed facts, since the physical matter was only an imperfect reflection of the perfect form.Every other philosopher was wrong about science.
And,most important thing which Aristotle teach us is Realism - world really exist,is not our imagination.
Truth exist and could be recognized.
Right now, you are saying literally what I wrote back in my initial response.The Roman Empire was closer to "bi-cultural" than anything else. Roman citizens in the provinces never quite forgot the people they came from and their ways (as evidenced by the empire's embracing of foreign gods), but considered themselves Roman first and foremost.
Now put your knee jerk away. Absolutely nowhere did I say it was anywhere near the modern conception of a "diverse" society. Hence why the Imperium Romanum reigned for centuries, whilst we're coming apart at the seams after a mere few decades.
