Over a century later, another Arab awakening erupted, led by a new generation of youth who echoed Al-Kawakibi's words in revolutionary cries from Aleppo, his hometown, to Cairo's Tahrir Square. Today, this seminal text makes its English debut, with a foreword by Leon T. Goldsmith providing an overview of Al-Kawakibi's intellectual contributions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first chapter of the text offers a definition of tyranny, portraying it as a sickness or malaise that permeates all classes of society, leaving behind decay. The subsequent seven chapters apply this conception of tyranny to the critical elements of society: religion, knowledge, honor, economy, ethics, and progress. By establishing a theoretical framework for understanding the centrality of tyranny, its characteristics, and its devastating effects, Al-Kawakibi concludes by presenting a brief program for remedying the disease of tyranny.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe final chapter outlines another book in which he had planned to elaborate upon his ideas—but, ultimately, his fate arrived too soon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 364g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 146 x 223 x 24 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781787385481                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abdul Rahman Al-Kawakibi","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44098708603130,"sku":"9781787385481","price":37.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/4c11452e4aaea9877af8cefc9196dce3.jpg?v=1639712033","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/nature-of-tyranny-and-the-devastating-results-of-oppression","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
