| Abstract
|
:
|
''To Kill the King'' sketches post-traditional consciousness in terms of three concepts - thinking as play, justice as seeking, and practice as art. In a series of critical essays on each of these concepts, the book describes a post-traditional consciousness of governance that can yield improvement in the quality of life for each individual.
