"There are only four or five who maintain the dictator... not the six thousand but a hundred thousand, and even millions, cling to the tyrant by this cord to which they are tied."
Tyranny is not imposed; it is invited. La Boétie maps how power metastasizes through favors, flattery, and fear--how millions bend the knee so a few can rise. A cold, lucid anatomy of submission, and a quiet, devastating call to end it.Languages:EnglishPublisher:ErisISBN-13:9781967751112ISBN-10:1967751110UPC:9781967751112Book Category:Philosophy, Political ScienceBook Subcategory:Political, History & Theory, SocialSize:7.70 x 4.40 x 0.40 inchesWeight:0.0507Product ID:SCG77Q0HCD
Étienne de La Boétie (1530-1563) was a French magistrate, political theorist, and close friend of Michel de Montaigne. Best known for The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude, written when he was just eighteen, La Boétie posed a radical question that still echoes today: why do people submit to power that exploits them? Though he died young, his work quietly seeded the modern tradition of civil disobedience.
