Roman Echoes in American Politics

This chapter examines the parallels between the political ideologies of ancient Rome and modern American society, particularly the abstraction of individuality and rights. It critiques the implications of equality concepts that may lead to nihilism and authoritarianism, exploring how philosophical perspectives like Hegel's shape our understanding of governance. The discussion extends to the lack of European statecraft theories post-1945 and hints at future explorations into historical theological views on politics.
