Description

Explore the complex relationship between political vision and authority in Idealism and the Abuse of Power: Lessons from China's Cultural Revolution. Published by Routledge, this academic work provides a deep analysis of how idealism can be misused to justify the exercise of state power. The book examines the phenomenon of abuse through two distinct lenses. First, it looks at the metaphysical visions held by state leaders at the top of the hierarchy. Second, it investigates the psychological state of the masses at the bottom of society. By studying the Cultural Revolution, the text explores the tension between high-minded ideals and their real-world consequences. Readers will gain an understanding of why idealism is often used to defend abusive practices, while others may dismiss important visions due to past historical tragedies. This book is a significant resource for those studying law, ethics, and governance, offering a critical perspective on how power and ideology interact within a society.
