{"product_id":"you-and-the-state-jan-narveson-9780742548435","title":"You and the State: A Fairly Brief Introduction to Political Philosophy","description":"Jan Narveson asks the provocative, philosophical question: is the state necessary? In this unusual introduction to political philosophy, Narveson draws on the history of political philosophy and discusses its main theories_classic liberal, democratic, socialist, radical_with reference to how each sees the place of the individual in the political order. Narveson's critique is situated within issues of freedom, authority, economic welfare, international relations and others to explore how and whether the state is necessary. His argument is ultimately anti-statist and takes seriously the question of whether and how some version of anarchism might make sense.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jan Narveson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0742548430\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780742548435\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.37w x 0.83d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2009","brand":"Jan Narveson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44120132649215,"sku":"9780742548435","price":101.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c273caa3-bb28-4e8a-944b-989f4b7551dc.jpg?v=1687412716","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/you-and-the-state-jan-narveson-9780742548435","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
