“All I know is that I know nothing.”
Noocracy ('Rule of the Wise') also called Epistocracy ('Rule of the Knowledgeable')[1][2] is a system of government within which authority is delegated to people based on their knowledge, those people traditionally being philosophers and theologians. The concept has its origins in Ancient Greek philosophy and the concept of 'The Philosopher King'. A notable example of a Noocracy was the Roman Empire during the reign of Marcus Aurelius, who contributed to the philosophy of Stoicism.
History
The first attempt to implement Noocracy was Pythagoras' city of the wise which he planned to build in Italy together with his followers. Another example of Noocracy is philosopher kings, examples of philosopher kings are Dion of Syracuse, Marcus Aurelius, Khosrow I, and Matthias Corvinus.
Beliefs
Noocracy believes in a system of governance where decision-making is in the hands of philosophers, these philosophers could be philosopher kings. Philosopher kings are rulers who possess both a love of wisdom, as well as intelligence, reliability, and a willingness to live a simple life. Noocracy also criticizes democracy for the irrationality of voters and that the average voter doesn't have the necessary knowledge to decide on means to achieve their political aims.
Variations
Platonism
Platonism is a philosophical system that traces its roots to the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. At its core, Platonism centers around the ideas and concepts of universals or Forms. These Forms are abstract, non-material entities that exist outside of the physical world and represent the true reality of things.
In the realm of Platonism, the physical world that we perceive with our senses is considered to be an imperfect reflection or copy of these perfect Forms. For example, when we encounter a particular tree in the world, according to Platonism, that tree is an imperfect instantiation of the universal Form of "treehood" that exists in a transcendent realm.
Plato believed that the material world is in a constant state of flux and imperfection, while the Forms remain eternal and unchanging. The pursuit of knowledge and understanding, according to Platonism, involves turning one's attention away from the transient world of appearances and towards the contemplation of these eternal Forms.
Socratism
Socratism, often associated with the philosophical approach of Socrates, is characterized by a method of questioning and dialogue aimed at stimulating critical thinking and uncovering deeper insights. Instead of presenting information in a structured list format, let me explain Socratism in a more narrative style.
Socratism revolves around the idea that knowledge is not simply about memorizing facts but is rather a process of active inquiry and exploration. Socrates, a classical Greek philosopher, employed a dialectical method known as the Socratic method, which involved engaging in conversations with others to explore their beliefs and opinions.
In Socratic dialogues, Socrates would pose open-ended questions to his interlocutors, encouraging them to reflect on their own ideas and assumptions. He would then systematically question and challenge these ideas, pushing individuals to reevaluate and refine their understanding. The goal was not necessarily to arrive at a definitive answer but to stimulate critical thinking and self-discovery.
The Socratic method involves a relentless pursuit of truth through dialogue, emphasizing the importance of questioning assumptions, acknowledging one's ignorance, and embracing the ongoing process of intellectual exploration. Socrates famously claimed that he was wise only in recognizing his own lack of knowledge, a concept known as "Socratic irony."
Shevchenkoism
Taras Shevchenko was famous ukrainian poetist and writer. Central motive of his masterpiece were nationalism, patriotism and loyalty to his culture. Shevchenko was born in family of serfs. This fact explains nationalist and egalitarian tendencies of Taras Shevchenko.
His political views was radical and pro-Republican. Shevchenko praised ukrainian nation and its will to independence. Despite his leaning left-wing positions, Shevchenko was culturally ambiguous. He said:
"Learn from others, but don't shun your own"
Taras Shevchenko was ransomed from slavery by russian painter Karl Bryullov. Thereafter Shevchenko was sent into an exile and dead in Saint Petersburg.
Shevchenkoism is left-wing and culturally culturally center to center-left ideology.
Chopinism
Chopinism is moderate Libertarian Right and culturally centrist ideology. He based on polish composer Frederick Chopin. Chopinism is patriotic and liberal ball. He is also religious and cultural nationalist, because Chopin was advocating for conservation of polish folk heritage. He seems to hate Russia, especially after November Uprising.
