"The New Science of Politics" is a seminal work in political philosophy that explores the nature of political societies, the symbolism of political power, and the essence of modernity.

The author argues that understanding the spiritual and religious dimensions of political reality can provide a more comprehensive view of society and governance. The book is a profound meditation on the philosophy of history and a radical critique of modern political ideologies.
