Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the historical development of the State, dismantling the misconception that it is an inherent component of society. The author traces the origins of social organization back to tribal communities and clan structures, demonstrating that these existed long before the formation of the State. Moving beyond the traditional "social contract" theory, the book examines the emergence of village communities as a key stage in human development. Here, the author argues that these communitiesââ âwith their shared land, communal governance, and emphasis on customary lawââ ârepresent a crucial precursor to modern civilization. The book then delves into the rise of fraternities and guilds, highlighting their essential role in satisfying the social and economic needs of individuals and communities outside the confines of the State. These institutions, the author suggests, played a vital role in shaping the character of medieval Europe, providing frameworks for mutual support, defense, and the administration of justice. The book ultimately sheds light on the complex and nuanced evolution of political structures, revealing the often-overlooked origins of individual liberty and social self-organization.
