Sinossi

Discover Green’s idea that will, not force, grounds political power. This insightful study presents how J. H. Muirhead explains the bold claim that a state exists to set the proper conditions for free personality, not to rule by coercion alone.

This edition guides readers through how English political thought moved from contract theories to a view where individuals belong to a social whole from the start. It also addresses common objections, the role of circumstances, and how true self-government connects to imperial responsibility. With clear examples, the book links theory to the practical task of building loyalty, education, and a shared sense of national purpose.

- Understand why Green’s approach centers on social unity and the development of character within a political framework
- See how the idea of natural rights is recast as ideals that mature within organized society
- Explore how participation in government deepens loyalty and turns protection into citizen responsibility
- Consider how these ideas apply to both domestic governance and imperial policy

Ideal for readers of political philosophy and history who want a concise, accessible account of a challenging theory about state power and human freedom. It’s a thoughtful resource for students and general readers alike seeking a clearer picture of how the state can serve individual growth and social harmony.
