Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, published in 1895, draws intriguing parallels between Aristotle's Greek theory of the state and the Nonconformist conscience in late 19th-century England. The author, a Nonconformist minister and social reformer, argues that both Aristotle and the Nonconformists believed that the state had a moral function beyond simply protecting property and securing individual liberty. It should also promote the good life and encourage citizens to live virtuous and fulfilling lives. The author contends that this Hellenic theory of the state has much to offer modern society, particularly in light of the growing trend towards socialism. By examining the relationship between politics and social life, and the role of the state in regulating vice, the author offers a nuanced and thought-provoking perspective on the proper function of government. This book's insights into the nature of the state and its relationship to the individual remain highly relevant today.
