Eros Turannos

Discover the profound insights of Eros Turannos by Aakash Singh, published by the University Press of America in 2005. This thought-provoking book spans 160 pages and delves into the intricate debates between two influential philosophers, Leo Strauss and Alexandre Kojeve. Singh expertly contextualizes their discussions through the Platonic concept of the relationship between the psuche (soul) and the polis (city). Furthermore, the author enriches this classical notion by incorporating contemporary philosopher William Desmond's exploration of the connections between eros and tyranny. Ideal for those interested in political science, philosophy, and the dynamics of despotism, Eros Turannos offers a compelling examination of the interplay between desire and power.
