Psyche | A Quintano
Uneducated fear motivates citizens to choose security and material or social advantages at the expense of justice. Hence why tyrants, in Aristotle’s time as much as ours, use fear and threats to wellbeing to maintain power. If we are going to have a political community that can make the sacrifices required to resist injustice, then some members of that community need to know how to feel fear well.
