Systems and the polity
Systems, loosely defined as a set of things working together as parts of a mechanism or an interconnecting network, are designed for particular subjects. In human relations, systems are not an end but a means to an end. In Aristotle’s conception, the state exists to ultimately attain the common good of men. The systems existing in the state are, therefore, not designed for their own sake but to aid humans. As such, systems must be constantly checked and assessed as in how they aid the human condition. Mathew looks at the political system that exists in Switzerland and ponders on the possible lessons for Namibia from his perspective. Edward on the other hand, looks at ideas and themes in the education system. Whatever one’s view may be, what is clear is that systems are to aid humans and must be constantly checked.
