Politics and Crowd-Morality: A Study in the Philosophy of Politics

Description

Product Description:
A rare book from the orientalist and iranologist, Arthur Christensen.

PREFACE

The whole world nowadays takes an interest in politics. And yet it is but seldom that we come across an understanding of the essence of
politics, of its connection with the life of the mind, and of its significance in development.The political interests of most people are absorbed
by concern for the fate of this or that bill, and by the question what this or that politician is doing or intends to do. In face of the great
political and social problems, men are satisfied with certain universal tendencies, backed by argu- ments evolved in the party press and at political meetings. Even people whose interests are not so narrowly confined, find it difficult to take a sober view of their surroundings, ecause we live in the midst of the hubbub of political hfe, which allows us no leisure to take a broader view of things, beyond the petty quarrels of the day.
