Inhaltsangabe

""The Politics of Obedience: The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude"" is a seminal work of political philosophy by Etienne de La Boetie, originally published in 1576. The book examines the nature of political power and the relationship between rulers and their subjects, arguing that political authority is ultimately derived from the consent of the governed. De La Boetie contends that people have the power to resist tyranny and oppression, but that they often voluntarily submit to it due to a combination of fear, habit, and ignorance. He explores the psychological and social factors that contribute to this phenomenon, and advocates for a philosophy of individual freedom and resistance to unjust authority. The book has been influential in the development of anarchist and libertarian thought, and continues to be widely read and studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
