Synopsis

This book analyzes the evolution of two contradictory principles, rationalism, and authoritarianism, from their origins to their manifestations in ancient Greece and Rome, and their lasting impact on Western civilization. The author argues that the clash between these principles shaped the political, religious, and social development of these societies, with rationalism fostering individual liberty and the rule of law, and authoritarianism leading to the concentration of power in the hands of a few. Through a detailed examination of historical events and key figures, the book sheds light on the strengths and weaknesses of each principle, and explores how their interaction has shaped human history.
