Publisher's Synopsis
The Modern Idea of the State is a book written by Hugo Krabbe and published in 1922. The book is an exploration of the concept of the state in modern times, and how it has evolved from its origins in ancient societies. Krabbe examines the various theories of the state that have emerged over the centuries, including the social contract theory of Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau, as well as the organic theory of Hegel and the positivist theory of Comte. He also discusses the role of the state in modern society, including its relationship to individual rights, democracy, and international relations. The book is a comprehensive and insightful analysis of the modern state, and remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in political theory and philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
