The Service of the State (Classic Reprint): Four Lectures on the Political Teaching of T. H. Green - Softcover
Synopsis
Discover how political power rests on will and social unity, not mere force.
This work reframes the history of political thought to show that the State serves as a setting for individual life and free personality. It explains Green’s view that the will behind government is rooted in the community, not in coercive might, and it explores how ideas of right and duty arise from our evolving social nature.
The book also connects philosophical theory to the practical questions of empire, education, and citizenship. It argues for active public participation as the path from loyal subjection to intelligent patriotism, and weighs how self-government could transform relationships between ruler and subject.- How Green grounds political authority in the will and the common good
- The redefinition of natural rights as ideals realized through society
- The case for self-government and citizen participation as civic duties
- Implications for empire, education, and democratic ideals

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the contrasting perspectives on the relationship between the individual and the state prevalent during the 1870s. The author argues that the reigning philosophical view of the time, which emphasized mechanical action and reaction between impressions and ideas, led to a denial of both human freedom and the possibility of true knowledge. The author contends that a reconstruction of philosophical theory is necessary to justify the unity between human purpose and nature, thought and practice. They assert that human consciousness is a unifying, interpreting, and interpene-trating principle and that to know is to relate. They argue that the reality of relations that can exist only in and for a mind implies the reality of a universal mind by which they are created and maintained. The author concludes that the true nature of our life in the world can only be understood when we have learned to know the principle that sustains it, not after the flesh but after the spirit. This book offers a comprehensive and coherent theory of the nature of the state and its relation to the individual, with insights that remain applicable to current problems.
