NEW POLITICAL THEORY STUNS ACADEMICS:

Harmonic Federalism and Fractal Constitutions at center of heated debate

FORT LAUDERDALE, APRIL 2005:  Rarely does a book shake the academic world.  The release of America on Trial surely has. Using a clever format, its author, M. C. Williams, an attorney turned philosopher, posits stunning new political maxims and weaves them into a breathtaking political theory of ‘fractal harmonic federalism’.  According to Williams, there is actually a physical geometry of justice, which America on Trial lays out in staggering detail. Right or wrong, Williams’ ideas will be furiously debated for decades if not longer.

Written as a fictional lawsuit, America on Trial is not truly a critique of American government, but rather a tour-de-force of political philosophy, containing dramatic advances in the theories of separated powers, mixed government, the rule of law, and the scientific underpinnings of justice.  Be forewarned, however, Williams is no hack.  He carefully builds upon the works of Aristotle, Plato, Machiavelli, Locke, Montesquieu and Rousseau.  Williams seems effortlessly to take the next step in this evolution of political thought, positing elegant theories such as the Harmonic Constitution, the cubic separation of powers, Constitutional Dialecticalism, and Fractal Micro-federalism.

Williams begins with Sophocles' character Antigone being prosecuted by the United States, as if her ancient situation had occurred today. Williams thrusts Antigone into American courts to contend with American law.  When she loses, she appeals to a mysterious higher court, which hears her claim that America is unjust.  As America fights back, a furious debate of political philosophy ensues, weaving together 2,500 years of history and philosophy.  A new political theory is forged, based on the great political doctrines of the classical and enlightenment eras.  The histories of England, Rome and Sparta, chaos theory, fractal geometry, Caesar's politics, special relativity, and serial endo-symbiogenesis are all but parts of this astounding new political theory. 

With this important book, Williams has launched a new era in political philosophy.  His Fractal Politics and Harmonic Constitution will almost certainly, in the not too distant future, be required reading in the field of modern political philosophy.
