City of God

edit

I added citations for St Augustine, Gower and Villon because I needed this article to describe Gower CA source. The current weight of this article is more towards St Augustine et al than towards Chomsky's book. Perhaps a Chomsky fan could add some proper citations for the two sentences which reference the book. I cannot help re Nietsche.Rdmoore6 (talk) 04:08, 13 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Perhaps the article should be rearranged so that the two sentences about te Noam Chomsky book are at the end rather than start. This would put the article in chronological order.Rdmoore6 (talk) 06:06, 7 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Nietzsche

edit

Someone please confirm citing Also Sprach Zarathustra for Nietzsche saying that within a society people are expected to act civil and nice to each other, but then as a society they express their Will to Power by conducting the same manipulation and warfare towards other societies which they have suppressed in their individual selves. I know I read it as an etext English translation on Project Gutenberg in 2003, if that narrows down the list of possible Nietzsche works.

As of August 2005 there are still only Also Sprach Zarathustra and Beyond Good and Evil in English on Project Gutenberg. A quick search for "society" and context shows i was probably thinking of this, and I have reflected the change in the article.
Would it be worth mentioning that there is a Schoolhouse Rock-like video on youtube called Pirates and Emperors?
