Ancient Greeks defined idiots as citizens who are so concerned with their private lives and preferences that they fail to attend to, or even comprehend, the common good. Idiots are persons who refuse to be both private and public citizens, as democracy requires. They put personal freedom to do as they please way out in front of the common good, thus undermining the community that secures those freedoms. They fail to see that freedom and community are not opposing forces, but deeply interdependent.
