<p align="justify">This work is a contribution to meta-politics or the theoretical elaboration of political positions. It involves a Platonic dialogue between two voices - one Christian and the other Pagan - over a range of contemporary issues. Modelled on Plato's <em>Republic</em>, it attempts to achieve a resolution or dialectical power-play between Thrasymachus and Socrates' more effete companions. Our two collaborators or <em>Dramatis Personae</em> (Frederick and Thomas) are illiberal and 'politically incorrect' in tone. This was irrespective of whether they were debating 'political correctness', the madness or delusions of crowds (<em>a la</em> Gustav le Bon), the ethics of conspiracy or revisionism, or the origins of Turner Prize art in Duchamp and Dadaism. Thomas, of course, happens to be a short-hand for St. Thomas Aquinas; whereas Frederick hints at an implicit rivalry with the German thinker Friedrich Nietzsche.
