Of Death and Dominion: The Existential Foundations of Governance

Beschreibung

Stating that death is the opposite not of life, but of power, the author argues that death has had a great and largely unexplored impact on the thinking of governance throughout history. He pursues the idea that a deep concern with death is, in fact, the basis of the ideological foundations of all political systems.
