Abstract
The author raises the old problem--how can the individual fulfill himself within the restrictive structure of the political state? The purpose of this work is to demonstrate that the philosophy of individualism does not lead to a solution, because it considers man as an asocial being. The only logical alternatives for a society based on such a philosophy are anarchy, in which each man serves his own end, or totalitarian rule, in which all individual desires are subjected to the power of the state. The author calls for a society in which man is regarded as naturally social, and in which reason is the corner-stone of order.--K. O'N.
