JoshuaRHall3: This has pretty deep roots (if you follow my research, soon to be published!) that we can probably trace to the Ancient Greeks. Plutarch preserves what might be the first realization of the concept of "respondeat superior." 7/?
JoshuaRHall3: The Missouri Supreme Court has even cited this bit of Plutarch to discuss causation, not liability in a strict sense, though still interesting! Simpson v. Witte Iron Works Co., 155 S.W. 810, 819 (Mo. 1913). 10/?

Plutarch on the greatest of Athenian leaders. Pericles wasn't always Pericles, and you don't have to be who you were. Transform.

danjzs1: At Hertog, when we read Plutarch on Lycurgus and his giving laws to the Spartans, I was like the only one who found it to be cruel brainwashing that churns out slaves.
It appears beautiful if you imagine Lycurgus as a cut above nature and not someone like Kim Jong-Un.
