Start with Plato : playing -- More play : like a gadfly? -- Self and detritus -- Writing, with a deviant signature -- Listen to symbols -- Truth : skepticism, certainly -- Start with Shakespeare : o cursed legacy! -- Justice systems : more in heaven and earth? -- Self, with style -- Other and hesitation -- Tradition : golden ruling -- Other traditions : silver ruling -- Start with Michelangelo : what I, a bureaucrat, expect -- Visible hand : cult of the leader -- Invisible hand : unexamined rhetoric -- A nun and barbed wire -- Love and mere efficiency -- To kill the king, and "good and no places."
''To Kill the King'' sketches post-traditional consciousness in terms of three concepts - thinking as play, justice as seeking, and practice as art. In a series of critical essays on each of these concepts, the book describes a post-traditional consciousness of governance that can yield improvement in the quality of life for each individual.
