{"product_id":"theories-of-tyranny-roger-boesche-9780271014586","title":"Theories of Tyranny: From Plato to Arendt","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book explores a little-noticed tradition in the history of European political thought. From Plato to 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 Nero), we can learn partial lessons from past thinkers that can help us to better understand twentieth-century tyrannies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roger Boesche\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 027101458X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780271014586\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penn State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.11w x 1.19d","brand":"Roger Boesche","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44130098479359,"sku":"9780271014586","price":51.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_97e42807-d613-4de4-9664-afd23f022cd8.jpg?v=1687467550","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/theories-of-tyranny-roger-boesche-9780271014586","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
