The objective of this book is to analyze and evaluate man's will to rule over others-its justification(s), its purpose(s)/objective(s), and its eventual result(s) in respect to the civilizing process of man, as depicted by our historical evolutionary processes encapsulated by the (i) rule of faith, the divine blessing; (ii) rule by power, the might is right; (iii) rule by reason, the infallibility of deterministic doctrines; and (iv) rule by the people, the undeniable being (a human being)! All this is unfolding in the historical epochs during the time of man's faith, imperialism, nationalism, and of course, democracy.
