  5     II, I   |        common, or (3) some things in common and some not. That they
  6     II, I   |          they should have nothing in common is clearly impossible, for
  7     II, I   |              must at any rate have a common place—one city will be in
  8     II, I   |         things, as far as may be, in common, or some only and not others?
  9     II, I   |             children and property in common, as Socrates proposes in
 10     II, III |          their wives and children in common; they would say "all" but
 11     II, III |          proposal. For that which is common to the greatest number has
 12     II, III |            own, hardly at all of the common interest; and only when
 13     II, III |           Libya, where the women are common, nevertheless the children

 16     II, IV  |            having women and children common, love will be watery; and
 17     II, V   |            have their possessions in common or not? This question may

 24     II, V   |        having all human relations in common, but especially in their
 25     II, V   |           especially in their having common property. The partnerships
 26     II, V   |         should be in a certain sense common, but, as a general rule,
 27     II, V   |          says, "will have all things common." Even now there are traces
 28     II, V   |           private, but the use of it common; and the special business
 29     II, V   |          when men have all things in common, will any longer set an
 30     II, V   |         those who have all things in common, though there are not many
 31     II, V   |          Sparta and Crete respecting common meals, whereby the legislator
 32     II, V   |         legislator has made property common. Let us remember that we
 33     II, V   |   constituents into associations for common meals, and into phratries
 34     II, V   |            to have their property in common? Or is each individual to
 35     II, V   |         children to be individual or common. If, like the guardians,
 36     II, V   |            are to have all things in common, what do they differ from
 37     II, V   |              small importance if the common life of the guardians is
 38     II, V   |             Socrates makes the women common, and retains private property,
 39     II, V   |          property and their wives in common? Once more: it is absurd
 40     II, V   |             not the artisans, or the common people. The Republic of

 44     II, VI  |          element of democracy in the common meals and in the habits
 45     II, VII |            in opposite ways. For the common people quarrel about the
 46     II, VIII|           benefit. Again, as to this common land out of which the soldiers
 47     II, IX  |              first introducer of the common meals, called "phiditia,"
 48     II, IX  |        legislator is frustrated. The common meals were meant to be a

 51     II, X   |            elders and the Cosmi.~The common meals of Crete are certainly
 52     II, X   |            state, and another to the common meals, so that men, women,
 53     II, X   |           are all supported out of a common stock. The legislator has
 54     II, X   |            time. But that the Cretan common meals are better ordered
 55     II, X   |           together a party among the common people and their own friends
 56     II, XI  |          proved by the fact that the common people remain loyal to the
 57     II, XI  | Lacedaemonian are the following: The common tables of the clubs answer
 58     II, XII |          children, and property, the common meals of women, and the
 59    III, I   |          question; what we want is a common term including both dicast
 60    III, I   |        anything, worth mentioning in common. Now we see that governments

 67    III, VI  |           which have a regard to the common interest are constituted
 68    III, VII |            govern with a view to the common interest; but governments
 69    III, VII |          call that which regards the common interests, kingship or royalty;
 70    III, VII |         administer the state for the common interest, the government

 72    III, IX  |             begin by considering the common definitions of oligarchy

 87     IV, IV  |         classes are included; of the common people, one class are husbandmen,
