Inhaltsangabe

Discover how political power rests on will and social unity, not mere force.

This work reframes the history of political thought to show that the State serves as a setting for individual life and free personality. It explains Green’s view that the will behind government is rooted in the community, not in coercive might, and it explores how ideas of right and duty arise from our evolving social nature.

The book also connects philosophical theory to the practical questions of empire, education, and citizenship. It argues for active public participation as the path from loyal subjection to intelligent patriotism, and weighs how self-government could transform relationships between ruler and subject.

• How Green grounds political authority in the will and the common good
• The redefinition of natural rights as ideals realized through society
• The case for self-government and citizen participation as civic duties
• Implications for empire, education, and democratic ideals

Ideal for readers of political philosophy, modern state theory, and debates on empire and citizenship.
