First published in 1938, The British Constitution discusses the
basic features of the British Constitution. The author argues that
the Constitution is more than a body of institutions working in
accordance with principles laid down in law or expressed in
conventions. It is society in its political aspect. In addition to
the features of the Constitution, the book also explains the
functions of the House of Commons, the House of Lords, the King,
the Cabinet, the parties, the administration and the armed forces.
This book will be of interest to anyone keen on learning about the
British Constitution as well as students of political science and
history.
This book, first published in 1936, addresses the need for a
comprehensive study of the development of international control in
the field of certain vital commodities and services. It traces
tendencies of development in government policy, and shows the
growth of governmental or semi-governmental machinery of an
international kind, that aims at regulating the production and
distribution of raw materials, foodstuffs and services.
First published in 1958, The Foundations of Political Theory
strives to answer essential questions of politics by studying its
foundations. In this book, Mr. Greaves treats the state as only one
among several associations whose function is to promote entirely
human ends. He tries to reinterpret such ideas as
'self-realization' and the 'good life' in ways acceptable to
students of contemporary philosophy, who reject the theological and
metaphysical doctrines these ideas have been tied to in the past.
He insists that men get their moral standards and their ideas about
what makes life worth living by reflecting on their experience;
that there are no ultimate and self-evident moral principles. While
admitting that moral standards are subjective in the sense that we
cannot explain how men come to have them except by showing how they
serve their needs, he refuses to allow that rational argument about
them is therefore impossible. Since men are rational, since they
have purposes and ideals and not merely desires, and since they
know that to realize these purposes they must live with others,
there are moral standards acceptable to all men when their function
is understood.
