To Kill the King de David John Farmer

To Kill the King: Post-Traditional Governance and Bureaucracy

David John Farmer

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 ian 2005

To Kill the King sketches post-traditional consciousness in terms of three rejuvenating concepts - thinking as play, justice as seeking, and practice as art. In a series of critical essays on each of these concepts, the book describes a post-traditional consciousness of governance that can yield enormous improvement in the quality of life for each individual. To Kill the King will appeal to any professor (whether in the post-modern camp or not) who wants to expose students to fresh challenges and insights.
