Antic and medieval states and civilizations had a durable development when between sport and healthy way of life from the one side and spiritual culture development (art, science, education, literature etc.) from the other side - existed a balance. Ancient latins found for that balance a very inspired term: - „aurea mediocritas”(golden middle). Any inclination of the balance in favor of one or another extremity have inevitably led to a decay and disappearance not even of polises (Sparta or Athens) but even a global empires (Rome). Spartan polis represents a model of barracks society and state where the cult of physical power was raised to an absolute rank. As long as Spartan‟s tactics was defensive and the polis was relatively isolated from the rest of Hellas this system was sufficiently valid. But immediately after Sparta tried to overcome this auto isolation (Peloponnesian War), so-called Spartan values haven‟t resisted to a Greek civilization “temptations” and the polis became not even an economical-cultural periphery but even the military-political one of the Greek world. The form reached, as it was to expect to correspond the content. The Rome, initially focused on the raw power cult in the educational system managed before long to harmoniously combine with Greek culture realizations. In 2nd century BC dictator Marius abandoned the concept of the general military compulsoriness (popular militia) that supposed a permanent maintenance of good physical conditions for all citizens, in favor of a professional army. This fact led to a triumph of epicureanism, sybaritism and depravity of elites and implicit the roman society. By inertia, the empire continued expansion for a century, but the roman state was already condemned. |
