POWER: The Scandal in Politics
The source of power in politics has been controversial since
Socrates's earliest theories of politics in the Platonic dialogues
Politics,
Laws, and
Statesman and also Xenophon's dialogue
Hiero or
Tyrannicus, a dialogue between Hiero, the tyrant of Syracuse in Eleatic Italy, and Simonides, a poet who also appears in Plato's dialogue
Protagoras.
In 1948 University of Chicago political science professor
Leo Strauss published
On Tyranny, a close reading of Xenophon's dialogue, which led to famous exchanges between Strauss and the French philosopher
Alexander Kojéve, now incorporated in the
"Corrected and Expanded Edition" of On Tyranny.
