Three Pillars of Wisdom by Michael Arnheim

“Wokeism” and, before it, “Political Correctness” are attempts to replace traditional privilege with a new privileged class of special interest groups that have supposedly been discriminated against. In Three Pillars of Wisdom, Dr. Michael Arnheim argues that that there are and always have been only two forms of government: monarchy and oligarchy, regardless of the labels placed on them, and that politics, religion, and law are all fields of contention between “in” and “out” groups.
Dr. Michael Arnheim (“Doctor Mike”) is a practicing London barrister, sometime Fellow of St John’s College, Cambridge, and author of 26 books. Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, he enrolled at the University of the Witwatersrand at age 16 and received a first-class B.A. in History and Classics at 19, first-class honors in Classics at 20, and an M.A. with distinction at 21. He then attended St John’s College, Cambridge, on a National Scholarship, and received his Ph.D. In 1972, his doctoral dissertation was published as The Senatorial Aristocracy in the Later Roman Empire. He was elected a Fellow of St John’s, where he continued his research and also taught classics and ancient history at Cambridge before returning to South Africa to head Witwatersrand’s classics department. Despondent over his country’s future, Dr. Arnheim returned to Britain, where he was called to the bar by Lincoln’s Inn. His most recent books include U.S. Constitution for Dummies, Anglo-American Law: A Comparison, , and Five Thousand Years of Monarchy.
