Publisher's Synopsis

The Philosophical Emperor: A Political Experiment Or The Progress Of A False Position is a book written by Alexander Bryan Johnson in 1841. The book is a political experiment that explores the idea of a philosopher king ruling a society. The main character, the Philosophical Emperor, is a ruler who uses reason and logic to govern his people. The book follows the emperor's journey as he tries to implement his philosophical ideas into his society. However, the emperor soon realizes that his position is false and that his ideas are not practical in the real world. The book is an exploration of the limits of reason and the dangers of trying to impose philosophical ideas onto a society. It is a thought-provoking and insightful read for those interested in political philosophy and the role of reason in governance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
