Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Political Science, Vol. 1: Or the State Theoretically and Practically Considered
We wish, also, to forewarn our readers that in starting from the point of individual rights we by no means would be under stood as believing the protection of rights to be the only end for which the state exists: far from this, we hold that a good state has other most important objects placed before it, as we hope to show in the sequel. But astate has no right to exist, and does not deserve to be called an organism fit for human society, which is not ainat state. Now, a true view of human rights is necessary. In order that a state may be intentionally just. Possessed of this quality alone, it would be an imper feet state; but without this quality it would not deserve the name of a state for human beings at all.
