Excerpt from Man or the State? A Group of Essays by Famous Writers If, then, the State cannot at: once be dispensed with, the alternative is reform, revision, melioration of the State idea. Here we shall at least be sure of a multitude of counsellors, each with his favorite State-theory or State-pattern to urge for adoption.
