Podrobnosti o e‑knize
Kautilya's "Arthashastra" stands as a seminal work in the realm of political philosophy and economic theory, intricately interweaving elements of statecraft, military strategy, and governance. Written in ancient India during the 4th century BCE, the text adopts a pragmatic and often realistic approach to ruling, advising rulers on the intricacies of maintaining power, diplomacy, and welfare economics. Its prose is both authoritative and illustrative, rooted in the historical precedents of Indian polity yet resonating with timeless wisdom that echoes through various political contexts, from the ancient to the modern world. Kautilya, also known as Chanakya, was not only a philosopher but a shrewd statesman and strategist, believed to have played a pivotal role in the establishment of the Maurya Empire. His insights were informed by his experiences in the royal court and his critical observations of governance's practicalities, contrasting the idealistic views prevalent in earlier texts. The synthesis of his life experiences and scholarly pursuits crystallizes into a guide that transcends its historical moment. "Arthashastra" is indispensable for scholars, political scientists, and leaders alike, offering a profound exploration of power dynamics that resonates across ages. Its relevance continues to spark discussion on ethical governance, making it essential reading for those interested in the machinery of state and the moral challenges that come with leadership.
