Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mine of Faults Though the old literature of the Hindoos is deficient in the department of politics - it has no history, no orators, no Demosthenes, no Polybius, no Aristotle ; for the dialectic of politics appears to have been invented by the divinely discontented Greek - though, I say, it has no politics, it is permeated with policy. The ancients, says Aristotle, wrote politically, but we rhetorically : and his remark is admirably illustrated by e.g. the old Panchatantra, whose author certainly had in him as much policy as Thucydides, although he chose to deliver his wisdom in apologues, rather than in the prosaic and somewhat pedantic photography of actual affairs. The Hindoo term, niti, means, not so much policy, as diplomacy, and so their niti-shastra, or doctrine of policy, refers rather to the clever conduct of affairs in negotiation, than to anything else. And therefore, love-affairs, which we should hardly include under politics, fall in with the Hindoo conception, and in this sense women are as the Hindoos think, and their annals abundantly testify, at least the equals, in policy, of men.
