- adrianratnapala 8y agoWell whatever we think of the overall point on equality, I have to congratulate Lewis on: The real reason for democracy is just the reverse. Mankind is so fallen that no man can be trusted with unchecked power over his fellows. Aristotle said that some people were only fit to be slaves. I do not contradict him. But I reject slavery because I see no men fit to be masters.
