"The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude" has influencedsome of the world's greatest social thinkers; from Leo Tolstoy toMohandus Gandhi to Ayn Rand. Written in the 1550s, as something of an underground tract or pamphlet by a young French student and friend of essayist Michelle de Montaigne, this short work remains a timeless expose of the psychology and inherent corruption involved in social or political power. The work has been in and out of print in English (Some of its various titles over the years were "Slaves By Choice," "Anti-Dictator," "The Will To Bondage," and "The Politics of Obedience: The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude"). In North America it has been out of print for some time now, unfortunately.
Since its original circulation in the early 1550s as "de la servitude volontaire ou contr'un," this short but powerful work seems to find its way back into print whenever the winds of social change began blowing toward tyranny.

An insightful and astonishing look at the origin and use of political power.
4. November 1995
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
"The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude," written by the young French student
and friend of Michelle de Montaigne, Etienne de la Boetie
during the 1550s, is now a much neglected work (in English).
The work's importance and timeless quality is comparable to that
of Niccolo Machiavelli's "The Prince." It is a very brief work of
about 40 pages in length. This brevity is part of the work's power.
In these few pages, the author is able to explain the origin and
inherent corruption of the tyranny of all government.
The work is a classic in civil disobedience; I suppose you could say
it defined the term. It should be read by all who value their freedom
and view tyranny -- in any form -- as an abomination.

Resolve To Serve No More
18. Mai 2000
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
"...And you are at once free. I do not ask that you place hands on the tyrant, but merely cease to obey him, and you will see him, like a colossus, fall of his own weight and break into pieces." So begins this short classic. It reads as if written with words of fire. Astonishing clarity and moral certitude bathe the ideas expressed. There is no room for temporarizing in La Boiete; the breathtaking clarity of his ideas blew cobwebs from my mind. It was like learning to walk on two legs instead of four. Some toung in cheek references to how his rhetoric does not apply to the France of the Capetian dynasty merely add flavor and wit to his insights. Non-violent resistance and civil disobedience both trace their modern pedigrees to this work. This is a book for the ages, and it is a shame that it is not widely available in English. (Knowledge Products excerpts it on tape in their, "Giants of Political Thought" cassette series.) I wish every student could be given a copy of this book; then, our liberty would face a brighter future than now appears to be the case. -Lloyd A. Conway
