The Ethical Basis of the State by Norman Wilde is a philosophical exploration of the moral principles that underpin the concept of the state. The book delves into the question of what makes a state legitimate and how it should function to serve the interests of its citizens. Wilde argues that the state must be founded on a set of ethical principles that prioritize the well-being and freedom of individuals. He examines the role of government in regulating social and economic activity, protecting individual rights, and promoting social justice. The book also explores the relationship between the state and other social institutions, such as the family and the market. Throughout the text, Wilde draws on a range of philosophical traditions, including liberalism, communitarianism, and Marxism, to develop his arguments. The Ethical Basis of the State is a thought-provoking and insightful work that will be of interest to anyone interested in political philosophy, ethics, and the role of the state in society.1924. In this volume Wilde, Professor of Philosophy in the University of Minnesota identifies and argues the problem of Individual vs. the State. Contents Part One.
