Description

Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langj�igem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - leichte Randl�ren und minimal besto�n, Fleck auf Fu�chnitt, Bleistifteintrag auf Schmutztitel, sonst sehr gut / slight edgewear and minimally bumped, stain on bottom edge, pencil entry on half title, otherwise very good. - This book explores a little-noticed tradition in the history of European political thought. From Plato and Aristotle to Tacitus and Machiavelli, and from Tocqueville to Max Weber and Hannah Arendt, political thinkers have examined the tyrannies of their times and have wondered how these tyrannies come about, how they work, and how they might be defeated. In examining this perennial problem of tyranny, Roger Boesche looks at how these thinkers borrowed from the past�thus entering into an established dialogue�to analyze the present. Although obviously tyrannies are not identical over time (Hitler certainly did not rule as did Nero), we can learn partial lessons from past thinkers that can help us to understand twentieth-century tyrannies better. / CONTENTS Preface Introduction 1.
