Aristotle's Cycles of Civilization

"Totalitarian philosophy with its worship of state force grows rapidly in the culture of confusion and insecurity." -JB Nash, "Building Morale" (1942). In Nash's legendary book "Building Morale" published at the beginning of WWII, he lays out the eight stages that make up Aristotle's cycles of civilization. Stage 8 begins and ends the cycle--with the dictator or supreme authority. America is at stage 7. Be careful. You have been warned now. Changing the course of history away from ruin is up to YOU. *Photo by Ron Jones
