Description

Idealism and the Abuse of Power: Lessons from China's Cultural Revolution provides a deep analysis of how idealism can be misused. Published by Routledge, this work examines the abuse of power through two distinct lenses. It looks at the metaphysical vision of state leaders at the top of the hierarchy and the psychological state of the masses at the bottom of society. The author explores the complex relationship between idealism and abuse, arguing that idealistic visions are often used to justify harmful actions. While some people accept these actions as part of the idealist mission, others dismiss the vision entirely due to the negative consequences. This book offers an academic examination of law, ethics, and governance within the context of historical events.

Key Features
