Its central argument is that the state is a tool for solving a historically changing set of problems, and that, as a tool, the state is frequently deficient on both moral and practical grounds. Government action can be considered as a response to a set of problems, all of which may conceivably be solved in some other manner as well. The book examines in particular the relationship between the state and technology over time. Technological developments may make the state more or less necessary over time, which is a consideration that is relatively new in the history of political philosophy, but increasingly important. The book is organized chronologically and concludes with an essay on trends in the history of political philosophy, as well as its surprisingly bright prospects for future development. 000806732 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed February 6, 2017). 000806732 650_0 $$aTechnology and state. 000806732 650_0 $$aPolitical science. 000806732 852__ $$bebk 000806732 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-48692-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000806732 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:806732$$pGLOBAL_SET 000806732 980__ $$aEBOOK 000806732 980__ $$aBIB 000806732 982__ $$aEbook 000806732 983__ $$aOnline 000806732 994__ $$a92$$bISE
