Beschrijving

Bol Why does the cosmic monarchy produce kakistocracy - and always has?Political Paganism makes a structural argument that neither secular liberalism nor atheism has made: the one omnipotent sovereign God provides the cosmic template for the one earthly king - whose selection criterion is loyalty, not competence.The pagan gods, plural and contested, modelled something different: the republic. Drawing on Rome, Lithuania, the Islamic caliphate, and the contrast between Cannae and Manzikert, this book argues for the meritocratic republic as the natural form of pluralism - and for solidarity with every tradition that defends it.
