The Tragedy of Almightiness

Philosophy

“This is a challenging book about a topic from which the former communist world has heavily suffered: omnipotence. The author gives a penetrating analysis of the concept of omnipotence. In it he incorporates his personal experience with communism. The book contains a surprising connection between the theological and philosophical roots of the concept of omnipotence. It clarifies how these ideas were the basis for an abhorrent political translation. This book should be read.”
