Synopsis:

""Current Criticism of the Orthodox Theory of the State"" is a book written by Allan Frederic Saunders and published in 1920. The book is a critique of the traditional and orthodox theories of the state prevalent at the time, which held that the state was the ultimate authority and that individuals had to submit to it. Saunders argues that this view is flawed and that the state should be seen as a tool to serve the interests of the people, rather than the other way around. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which examines a different aspect of the orthodox theory of the state. Saunders discusses the concept of sovereignty, the relationship between the state and the individual, the role of the state in the economy, and the idea of the social contract. He also looks at the historical development of the state and the various theories that have been put forward to explain its origins and functions.Saunders' critique is based on a belief in individual freedom and the importance of limiting the power of the state. He argues that the state should be accountable to the people and that its authority should be limited by law. He also advocates for a more democratic and participatory form of government, in which citizens have a greater say in how the state is run.Overall, ""Current Criticism of the Orthodox Theory of the State"" is a thought-provoking and insightful book that challenges traditional views of the role of the state in society. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in political theory, philosophy, or history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
