طبائع الاستبداد ومصارع الاستعباد (Tabai al-Istibdad wa-Masari al-Isti’bad)

by Abd al-Rahman al-Kawakibi

“Tabai al-Istibdad wa-Masari al-Isti’bad” (The Nature of Tyranny and the Paths of Enslavement) by Abd al-Rahman al-Kawakibi is a profound treatise on the nature of tyranny and its detrimental effects on societies. Al-Kawakibi argues that tyranny stems from the suppression of reason and the dominance of ignorance. He critiques the concentration of wealth as a breeding ground for despotism and underscores the essential role of constitutionalism and participatory governance as antidotes to authoritarianism. This book is a cornerstone of Arab political thought, offering insightful analyses of power dynamics and the challenges to achieving justice and liberty.
