You and the State : A Short Introduction to Political Philosophy Paperback / softback
by Jan Narveson
Part of the Elements of Philosophy series
Paperback / softback
Description
Jan Narveson asks the provocative, philosophical question: is the state necessary?
In this unusual introduction to political philosophy, Narveson draws on the history of political philosophy and discusses its main theories_classic liberal, democratic, socialist, radical_with reference to how each sees the place of the individual in the political order.
Narveson's critique is situated within issues of freedom, authority, economic welfare, international relations and others to explore how and whether the state is necessary.
His argument is ultimately anti-statist and takes seriously the question of whether and how some version of anarchism might make sense.
