      Exploring the intersection of philosophy and political theory, Hancock provides original interpretations of key thinkers like Aristotle and Tocqueville, challenging the depth of Heidegger's insights. He argues that Tocqueville's understanding of essential truths surpasses that of more traditionally esteemed philosophers. By addressing the foundations of liberalism and the nature of reason, Hancock demonstrates the inseparability of these critical questions, inviting readers to reconsider the role of reason in contemporary discourse.

This he did in spectacular fashion founding United Artists in 1919, along with his soon-to-be wife Mary Pickford, Charles Chaplin and D.W. Griffith"-- Provided by publisher
