Excerpt from The Evolution of Political Thought

N the Introduction to a recent work on social anthropology, already mentioned in the Preface,1 the editors state that 'we do not consider that the origins of primitive institutions can be dis covered and, therefore, we do not think it worth while seeking for them'. This may be true. It need not, however, prevent us from noting what appear to be the basic characteristics of man, considered from a political point of view. It is hardly in question, for example, that men have always (since being recognisable as men) lived in groups of some kind, family groups or tribes. Man is thus a social animal, although less so perhaps than some other creatures, especially certain insects. Man is also carnivorous, able to live on either a meat or a vegetable diet but equipped with teeth different from those of a grass-eating animal. Some at least of his food has always been trapped or pursued, fished or shot. Then again, the young of the human family (born singly, for the most part, not in a litter) are helpless for an exceptionally long period, needing protection and care for many years and maturing very slowly indeed.

�valuation du vendeur 4 sur 5 �toiles

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book embarks on a captivating exploration of political thought, challenging conventional narratives that often confine this subject to specific regions, time periods, or authors. The author argues that understanding political systems requires delving into the very essence of human nature and social evolution, tracing the origins of governance back to our primitive ancestors. By examining various forms of rule â� � monarchy, oligarchy, democracy, and dictatorship â� � the author unveils a cyclical pattern throughout history, where each system emerges, flourishes, decays, and ultimately paves the way for the next. Drawing upon diverse examples from across the globe and throughout time, this book illustrates how factors such as geography, social structure, and cultural beliefs shape the evolution of political thought. The author challenges the notion of a linear progression towards an ideal political system, suggesting instead that each form of governance represents a response to the specific challenges and circumstances of its time. This insightful analysis reveals that political systems are not static entities but rather dynamic and ever-evolving reflections of human societies and their ongoing quest for order and stability. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9780259993315_0
