The Aristocrats discuss chapters 5-6 of Latter-Day Pamphlets by Thomas Carlyle. Latter Day Pamphlets were published in 1850 in the aftermath of the liberal revolutions of 1948.
In this episode, we discuss each chapter's main themes and best quotes, such as why prominent organs of government and institutions have degraded into mere talking apparatuses, and we begin to understand Carlyle's idea of the role that parliaments and suffrages should play in society.
“Parliament, Parlamentum, is by express appointment the Talking Apparatus; yet not in Parliament either is the essential function, by any means, talk. Not to speak your opinion well, but to have a good and just opinion worth speaking,-for every Parliament, as for every man, this latter is the point. Contrive to have a true opinion, you will get it told in some way, better or worse; and it will be a blessing to all creatures. Have a false opinion, and tell it with the tongue of Angels, what can that profit? The better you tell it, the worse it will be”
