This book, written by Étienne de La Boétie, explores the nature of tyranny and voluntary submission. La Boétie argues that tyrants only have the power that people give them, and that freedom can be regained simply by refusing to serve. The book is a passionate plea for freedom and a scathing critique of oppression.
Étienne or Estienne de La Boétie was a French magistrate, classicist, writer, poet and political theorist, best remembered for his relationship with essayist Michel de Montaigne. His early political treatise Discourse on Voluntary Servitude was posthumously adopted by the Huguenot movement and is sometimes seen as an early influence on modern anti-statist, utopian and civil disobedience thought.
