This volume is a monumental revelation of the nature of politics, its origins in human needs, its far-reaching penetrations. It encompasses the political state and what it should be, how it affects and should affect the individual citizen, and extends to the prospects of world government and beyond to the possibilities of a cosmic superstate. James K. Feibleman, [1904-1987], Professor of Philosophy in Tulane University, brings all of his legendary vitality and broad brilliance of mind to this new look at government, which is his twenty-eighth book in the social sciences and philosophy whose various fields he has quintessentially explored. In this latest work the whole structure of politics is revealed, new facts are adduced, and new theories presented. Thus the structure of the book is threefold, comprising: I. The Logical Possibilities, II. The Facts of Actuality, III. A Hazard of Destiny. Under these major concerns James K. Feibleman presents the complete poitical panorama including: under 'Possibilities': the origins of the state in human needs, the state as institution, the establishment of morality, the community of law, the economics of technology, the problems of ideologies--under 'Facts': the smallest politics, political corruption, enslavement and freedom, practical problems of government, political change, the institutional state--and under 'Hazard': diplomacy as game and sport, international relations, war and peace, the global superstate. For the layman as well as for those trained in philosophy and political science, this volume will be important. As Professor Feibleman writes, 'Everyone is concerned with politics whether he likes it or not, and now more than ever when it plays such a crucial part in everyday life. It is not enough to confront the issues of the moment...and there is an immense practical advantage in coming to an area of complex social decisions from an examination of the theory involved. This book, excitingly and unquestionably, will enable its readers to do just that' (-from the endflap). Includes bibliography and index. Bibliography: p. 325-327. xi, 335 p. 25 cm.
