Abstract
The author studies the concept of tyranny from a historic and interdisciplinary point of view, which includes theology, laws, economy, philosophy, logics, moral and sociology. This paper has three parts: theoretical, practical and historical. Bearing in mind the wide number of reflections about the Bad Government made by political thought theroreticians along centuries, it is clear that terminology took a decisive role in the variations of the concept «tyranny» when translating from a language to another or from a civilization to another. Besides, this provides the differentiation of tyranny from other forms of iniquotous government, allowing a better understanding of every term: despotism, oligarchy, ochlocracy, dictatorship, auto cracy, caesarism, authoritarianism, etc.
