ЧТО ОЗНАЧАЕТ СЛОВО TYRANNY
тиран
Тиран в своем современном английском языке является правителем страшного и угнетающего характера, который является абсолютным правителем, не подкрепленным законом или конституцией, и / или тем, кто узурпировал законный суверенитет. Тиран обычно контролирует почти все. Первоначальный греческий термин, однако, просто означал авторитарного суверена без ссылки на характер, не имеющего уничижительной коннотации во время архаических и ранних классических периодов, хотя это было явно плохим словом для Платона, и из-за решающего влияния политической философии его отрицательные коннотации только увеличивались в эллинистический период. Платон и Аристотель определяют тирана как «тот, кто правил без закона, смотрит на свою собственную выгоду, а не на своих подданных, и использует крайние и жестокие тактики - против своих людей, а также других». В VII и VI веках до нашей эры тирания часто рассматривалась как промежуточный этап между узкой олигархией и более демократическими формами государственной власти. Однако в конце пятого и четвертого веков возник новый тиран, военный диктатор, особенно на Сицилии.
