This book explores how taxation is related to the role of the state
and its relationship with its constituents, the concept of private
property rights, the concepts of societal fairness and justice, and
the battle between the individual and the collective. This book
appeals to students and scholars who want to know how philosophers
in the past and present think about taxation, and how their
thinking has developed through cross-influencing. There exists no
comprehensive study providing such an overview.  This
book is a foundational study on the philosophical justification of
taxation (qualitative aspect) and the normative qualifications
required of tax law to constitute tax that is just and fair
(distributive or quantitative aspect). The latter includes
evaluation of what type of tax is morally correct or acceptable to
realize distributive justice. This book covers periods from the
Enlightenment era until the present. The philosophers are grouped
together in schools of thought and each chapter except for chapter
1 and chapter 13, are is dedicated to a specific philosophical
school.  Moreover, this book aims to provide an
overview of each school of thinking and the individual
philosophers, including placing them in the context of their
times. The book has particular importance as the study of
taxation is an underdeveloped area of political and legal
philosophy.
