Présentation de l'éditeur :
The aim of tliis treatise has been the construction of a true system of political philosophy, the determination of the ultimate nature of theS tate and the grounds upon which its authority may be justified. Philosophy has been defined as a criticism of categories, and thus, in the present work, the task has been to subject the principal terms and concepts of political science to as careful an examination, and as rigid a definition, as is possible. Beyond all previous periods, the present century has been prolific in the creation of new and complex political conditions. With the appearance of the modern constitutionalS tate with its functions and organization reduced to definite written statement, with the formation of the greatest variety of federal unions betweenS tates formerly independent, with the rise of international relations into technical definiteness, with the clearer distinction between public and private rights, between moral and civic obligations, with all these new phases of political life, problems in theory have arisen, which require for their solution the keenest of philosophical analysis, and the highest degree of accuracy in the application of the terms used. It is, therefore, with the greatestdiffidence that the present work is offered as an attempt to afford some slight assistance in this direction.
