Softcover. Zustand: Gut. 139 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Einband etwas berieben und bestoßen, allgemein guter Zustand / Binding somewhat rubbed and scuffed, otherwise in good condition. - Xenophon is generally thought to have done his best theorizing on leadership through his portrayal Cyrus the Great, the first king of the Persian Empire. This book argues that Xenophon actually reduces his Theory of Leadership to a set of fundamental traits, namely, the love of humanity, the love of learning, and the love of being honored. These so-called fundamental traits are the product of several rich contexts across culture and across time: the portrait of Cyrus seems as much a composite of Persian folklore as a pointed response to Platos Philosopher King. This book further argues that Xenophons Theory of Leadership is effective for addressing many problems of leadership that were familiar to Xenophon and his fourth-century Athenian contemporaries, notably Plato and Isocrates. By looking at the contexts in which Xenophons Theory was conceived, as well as the problems of leadership he sought to address, this book sees Xenophon as attempting a sincerely laudatorythough not idealportrait of Cyrus. The study thus falls in between interpretations of the Education of Cyrus that have seen Cyrus as either a perfect leader or an ironically flawed one.
