Set against the broad context of philosophical arguments about
group and state personality, Pluralism and the Personality of the
State tells, for the first time, the history of political
pluralism. The pluralists believed that the state was simply one
group among many, and could not therefore be sovereign. They also
believed that groups, like individuals, might have personalities of
their own. The book examines the philosophical background to
political pluralist ideas with particular reference to the work of
Thomas Hobbes and the German Otto von Gierke. It also traces the
development of pluralist thought before, during and after the First
World War. Part Three returns to Hobbes in order to see what
conclusions can be drawn about the nature of his Leviathan and the
nature of the state as it exists today.
