- Navis Astrum Oriens is an ancient philosophical text consisting of two parts. Through radiocarbon dating, anthropologists estimate that it was written around the third century B.C. The author is unknown. The first portion of the text is an anachronistically Socratic dialogue, and is among the most influential works of metaphysics, ethics, and geopolitical theory. In the fictional dialogues of the first portion, the characters in the society "Navis Astrum" as well as various foreigners discuss the meaning of metaphysics and examine whether the Capitally-fulfilled man is happier than the destitute man by drawing upon a hypothetical society jointly-ruled by Valkyrie kings and their guardians. The second part of the text outlines the flaws of a society based on Stoic principles, focusing on the downfalls and corruption of once morally virtuous men and women. Navis Astrum Oriens launches a satirical attack on the philosophers that preach to others about leading simple lives of asceticism, while secretly indulging in all worldly delights.
