Know about the book -
Contextual Authority and Aesthetic Truth is written by James S. Hans and published by SUNY Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0791409171 (ISBN 10) and 9780791409176 (ISBN 13).
This book explores the relationship between authority and context and attempts to establish the ways in which authority is a function of a particular agent or set of agents, and the degree to which it is a product of a context rather than an agent. The work is not a sociological or psychological study but rather a literary/philosophical speculation into the roots of our conceptions of authority. It declares all authority to be aesthetic in nature and is based on an analysis of several key texts from various different cultural backgrounds: Foucault, Weber, Nietzsche, Confucius, and Homer.
