High place without virtue is an evil, not a good. Power is an empty name. Philosophy lectures Boethius on the false promise of power, and **George Orwell** answers her on whether the powerful can indeed get to the rational man (I read a **passage from Orwell’s 1984**). Happiness, honour, power, and the relation between the virtuous and the powerful.
