The Individual and the State (Classic Reprint): An Essay on Justice; A Thesis Accepted by the Faculty of Cornell University for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Explore how justice, the individual, and the state shape modern society and our ideas of rights.
The book presents a critical look at natural rights and the limits of defining justice by abstract rules. It argues for a social metaphysic that integrates the life of the individual with the needs of the community. Rather than relying on fixed absolutes, it examines public welfare as the practical test for state power and for what is fair in real cases.
Through analysis of history, philosophy, and political thought, this edition invites readers to weigh the roles of personality, law, and social solidarity. It looks at how liberty can grow within a thriving social organism, and why simple formulas often miss the complexities of life in a complex society.
- Question the idea that rights are self-evident or absolute, and see how public welfare guides legal power.
- Learn how the state and society interact to shape justice without erasing individuality.
- Explore the limits of natural rights and the move toward a more integrated theory of justice.
- Understand why history and social context matter in evaluating political ideas.
Ideal for readers of political philosophy, jurisprudence, and social theory who seek a nuanced view of justice beyond simple right-versus-wrong dichotomies.

We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fundamental question of how a society should be organized, tracing the transformation over time from collectivism to individualism. The author argues that early human societies were characterized by a strong sense of social unity and a suppression of individual rights. This began to change with the rise of cosmopolitanism and the questioning of traditional religious and political structures. The book examines the role of Christianity and the Stoics in promoting the idea of a natural equality among all humans, and the rise of Rationalism in further eroding the divine right of kings. Along with this came a new emphasis on the importance of individual liberty and the right to pursue one's own interests. The book concludes by arguing that this tension between social unity and individual freedom remains a central challenge for modern societies. 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 réf. du vendeur 9781332593378_0
