This book provides a critical survey of Western political
philosophy from a classical liberal perspective, paying particular
attention to knowledge problems and the problem of political
authority. Its central argument is that the state is a tool for
solving a historically changing set of problems, and that, as a
tool, the state is frequently deficient on both moral and practical
grounds. Government action can be considered as a response to a set
of problems, all of which may conceivably be solved in some other
manner as well. The book examines in particular the relationship
between the state and technology over time. Technological
developments may make the state more or less necessary over time,
which is a consideration that is relatively new in the history of
political philosophy, but increasingly important. The book is
organized chronologically and concludes with an essay on trends in
the history of political philosophy, as well as its surprisingly
bright prospects for future development.
