130. First of all, please don't make assumptions about what I am doing, OK, thanks.
I'm not reading it the way I want it, I am treating it for what it is, a real, live political philosophy, one that is taught in poli sci classes and practiced in the real world.
Words mean things, and I gave you the link to the political definition of absolutism. I didn't simply take the word "absolute" and add a suffix. To do so changes the meaning of that word. I gave you the actual meaning of a political philosophy. To try and define that political philosophy by using the definition of completely different word and concept is simply not a valid way to describe that political philosophy. Again, words actually do mean things. Again, I would suggest that you educate yourself. You can find plenty of good articles and books about political science and political theories and philosophies both on the web and in your local library. I suggest you avail yourself of them. |
