Tusi
By S. Rizwan Ali Rizvi
14 cm x 21.5 cm.--- Pages 255. (Hard Binding)
Throughout history Nizam al-Mulk has enjoyed an unrivalled reputation
as a statesman, a thinker on public administration and a builder of a great
Empire. He offers a complete contrast to Niccolo Machiavelli, who is recognised
to have influenced Western politics ever since his Prince was written,
and who is not merely amoral, his thought is definitely immoral. He served
a great Empire having sufficient resources, both financial and military;
there was to be no need for adopting immoral means for achieving its goals.
Tusi's main concern was the consolidation of the Sultanate's power for
the welfare of the people and the strengthening and glorification of Islam.
In this book, the learned author concentrates mainly on the political
ideas of Nizam al-Mulk. He has tried to work out the theoretical and practical
aspects of government enunciated and enacted by Nizam al-Mulk in the true
spirit of Islam.
