Reseña del libro "The Empty Side of Power (en Hebreo)"

The many discussions of power, from ancient India, China, through modern writers such as Nietzsche, theologies, ending up with postmodern essayists, locating power in discourses, there is hardly any hint why this theme became so prevalent. Apart from power as means of survival, every discussion discloses an excess of power beyond any need for survival. An emperor, possessing everything in excess – everything in his empire, including his subjects, why does he send armies to appropriate all? What is the purpose, apart from such an irrational “I came, I saw, I conquered”.

The text addresses this question at many levels, leading to the issue of “emptiness”. Many texts, both worldly and theological reveal a peculiar “” emperors, gods, conquerors want to be worshiped. The subjects must pray to their Lords, must celebrate their victories, must kneel before them, thank them for life and “gifts”, beg for protection and forgiveness. The desire for worship is regarded as universal and hence power is used to extend the domain of the Lord across the universe. With every conquest more slaves are brought to worship the Lord.

The mere mentioning of his name evokes fear a worship. But then the question must be what such worship gets the Lord? (Lord here can be God of Gods, King with divine rights, dictator, famous name).
