The Nature of Tyranny was written and published at the dawn of the
twentieth century by Abdul Rahman Al-Kawakibi, one of the
pioneering thinkers of the Arab world. More than a century later,
another Arab awakening exploded, led by a new generation of youth
who chanted Al-Kawakibi's words in revolutionary cries from Aleppo,
his hometown, to Cairo's Tahrir Square. Today this seminal text
appears in English for the first time, with a foreword from Leon T.
Goldsmith offering an overview of Al-Kawakibi's intellectual
contributions. The first chapter of the text provides a definition
of tyranny, presenting it as akin to a sickness or malaise that
seeps into all classes of society, leaving behind decay. The
following seven chapters apply this conception of tyranny to what
Al-Kawakibi sees as society's crucial elements: religion,
knowledge, honour, economy, ethics and progress. Having laid a
theoretical framework for understanding the centrality of tyranny,
its characteristics and its devastating effects, Al-Kawakibi
concludes by setting forth a brief programme for remedying the
'disease' of tyranny. The final chapter outlines another book in
which he had planned to elaborate upon his ideas-but, ultimately,
his fate arrived too soon.
