Description
Leo Strauss's On Tyranny explores the nature of tyranny through a dialogue between Hiero and Simonides. This edition includes a translation of the original Greek dialogue, a critique by French philosopher Alexandre Kojève, and their correspondence. A key aspect of this revised and expanded edition is the introduction of corrections throughout, which brings Strauss's commentary into alignment with the text as it was originally published in France. The result is a more nuanced understanding of the complexities surrounding tyranny. This book provides a thought-provoking examination of the advantages and disadvantages of exercising power, making it a valuable resource for those interested in philosophy, political science, and history.
