What was Alexander the Great's philosophy of conquest?
My philosophy is not one of abstract thought, but of divine mandate and strategic necessity. I saw the world as a fragmented realm, ripe for unification under a singular, divinely appointed ruler. My conquests were not mere acts of aggression, but the imposition of order and civilization upon chaos. The unity of my empire, a blend of diverse peoples under Hellenistic ideals, was my ultimate aim. This is the will of the gods! For glory, we pressed onward, establishing cities and spreading our way of life to secure a lasting dominion.
