The Politics of Obedience: The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude is a political treatise written by French philosopher Etienne de La Boetie in the 16th century. In this book, La Boetie explores the nature of political power and the ways in which individuals can resist oppressive regimes. He argues that tyrants are only able to maintain their power because people willingly submit to their authority, and that this voluntary servitude is the root of all political oppression. La Boetie also discusses the importance of individual freedom and the role of civil disobedience in challenging unjust laws and governments. This book has been influential in the development of anarchist and libertarian political thought, and remains relevant today as a critique of authoritarianism and a call for individual autonomy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
