Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This fascinating book explores the functions and nature of the state, arguing its existence as a divine institution with its origin intrinsically linked to the structure of humankind. The author debunks prevailing theories surrounding the state's contractual origin and sovereignty of the people, viewing them as incomplete and flawed. Instead, the book proposes an origin in the very fiber of humanity, where the state naturally emerges when people share a common political vision. The state's overarching purpose is deemed to be the well-being of its people and its legitimacy stems from being established with the people's approval and in harmony with their will. The author maintains that the state, despite being from the people, is above them, demanding reverence and obedience. The duty of a worthy citizen, the book argues, is to live a virtuous life and actively serve the state. This service is crucial as the quality of a nation is fundamentally dependent on the character and actions of its citizens. The book concludes by emphasizing the importance of recognizing the principles that underpin the state and by urging individuals to actively engage in their civic responsibilities. By doing so, the book argues the state can be a powerful force for liberty, justice, and societal progress.
