On Properties and Decadence in Society

Plato's chief concern in the Republic, one might at any rate contend, was not with metaphysics or epistemology, but with the decline and decay of societies; and since his day not a few great philosophers have been concerned with the same problem. In this paper I hope in a modest way to continue that tradition by fulfilling two aims. The first, which is subsidiary, is to distinguish between formal and material properties; the second is to state what are the formal properties of a decadent society.'
