Publisher's Synopsis
Godwin's Political Justice: A Reprint of the Essay on Property (1890) is a book written by William Godwin, a British philosopher and political writer. Originally published in 1793, the book is a treatise on political philosophy and a critique of the social and political structures of the time. The book argues for a system of government based on reason and justice rather than tradition and authority. Godwin argues that private property is the root cause of social inequality and that a society without property would be more just and equal. The book was highly influential in the development of anarchist and socialist thought in the 19th century. This 1890 reprint of the book is a valuable resource for scholars and students of political philosophy and the history of political thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
