Summary / Abstract:
ENIn numerous contemporary disciplines, including discussions of language, power is a “silent” background. The power of discourses, the political, economic, the power of prayer, not to speak of the constant wars popping up around the globe. The essay is not designed to contest such claims, but to investigate the way power as such is understood by different texts throughout civilizations. Such texts suggest how civilizations legitimate and justify power and, in some cases simply articulate the most efficient ways to employ it. The essay is designed to fill a “gap” in the West where power was explicated in a very diminished way. Keywords: power, legitimation, arbitrariness, strategy, opportunity.
