Today, June 15th, is the 807th anniversary of the sealing of the Magna Carta. It was a document which enshrined the doctrine "Lex facit regem," law makes the ruler, and the ruler is the servant of the law. The rule of law, of course, is an idea which depends on the premise that there are eternal laws, universal principles, inscribed in nature, which can be discerned by the wise.
Great piece! "The rule of law, of course, is an idea which depends on the premise that there are eternal laws, universal principles, inscribed in nature, which can be discerned by the wise." The remaining Q is: "Who" is wise? Which is to say: Who can discern? I submit to discern, one must first remove the "self" when looking at the "whole" inscribed in and by Nature. The nature of Human, and the nature of Nature is a perennial and open inquiry. One can put the "self " in the equation from time to time, BUT NEVER start from the tunnel vision of the "self".
