PHRONESIS — Essay 6 / On Power Without Domination / Thomas Vargo (Aegis Solis)

This essay is part of the ongoing PHRONESIS corpus, a philosophical exploration of restraint, non-dominance, and practical wisdom in the age of artificial intelligence.

On Power Without Domination examines the structural relationship between power and domination across individuals, institutions, technological systems, and large-scale social structures. It explores how power can exist without collapsing into domination and how restraint becomes increasingly important as systems scale in influence and consequence.
