Tyrant.
A word that can instill fear in millions of people. A monster capable of mass murder to achieve his own ends. But could one person’s tyrant actually be another person’s hero, even saviour? Who really is a tyrant? Why do they become one? And who are the worst tyrants in the world?
If there’s anyone who’s thought deeply about this topic, it’s Waller Newell, a professor of political science and political philosophy at Carleton University.
Listen to this compelling conversation by one of the leading authorities on tyrants and tyranny and his concerns about the state of the world today.
