		All of us, in the institutions and in civil society itself, are duty-bound never to lower our sights against racial hatred and anti-Semitism, even when that malignant growth seems to be on the verge of extinction once and for all.
		And this would be particularly true if the multilateral institutions were to put into practice, unconditionally, the values of how to reach out in readiness to listen to others, which is necessary to overcome stand-offs and misunderstandings.
		The present phase contains novelties and great political ferment, which is raising the hopes of us all that the path that has been undertaken so often in the past, and then abandoned, will be carried through to completion this time.

	From Angelicum, (Rome), LXX (1993), 487-503
		In terms of political philosophy, this position would mean that even though political philosophy is the "queen" of the social sciences, the social sciences themselves, including political philosophy, are insufficient.
		As justice is the political virtue, the virtue that orients us to others, to our proper relation to them, though not to their particular persons and characters, this means that political philosophy naturally and normally reaches what it cannot deal with in its own terms.
		Political philosophy is particularly related to such questions because it finds itself necessarily involved in the condition of the nations, in poverty, freedom, war, exchange, with the worthy condition of mankind.

		A legal innovation of the Roman Republic, the dictator (Latin for "one who dictates (orders)") — also known as the magister populi ("master of the peoples") — was an extraordinary magistrate (magistratus extraordinarius) whose function was to perform extraordinary tasks exceeding the authority of any of the ordinary magistrates.
		After the falling out of Gaius Marius and Lucius Cornelius Sulla, the latter marched on Rome and had himself appointed to an entirely new office, dictator rei publicae constituendae causa, which was functionally identical to the dictatorate rei gerendae causa except that it lacked any time limit.
		The office was later offered to Caesar Augustus, who prudently declined it, and opted instead for tribunician power and consular imperium without holding any office other than pontifex maximus and princeps senatus — a politic arrangement which left him as functional dictator without having to hold the controversial title or office itself.

		Even if historians now seek more widely for the causes of Rome's rise to power, the importance and influence of her political institutions remains.
		The reasons for Rome's power are both complex, on account of the mix of elements, and flexible, inasmuch as they were not founded on written statutes but on unwritten traditions reinterpreted by successive generations.
		Knowledge of Rome's political institutions is essential both for ancient historians and for those who study the contribution of Rome to the republican tradition of political thought from the Middle Ages to the revolutions inspired by the Enlightenment.
