“State is a means”. Clarify this statement. |
|
Answer» “State is a means”. Thinkers who believe in this concept regard a state as a means for fulfilling the interests of an individual. According to their belief, all institutions are for welfare and prosperity of an individual, not an individual for these institutions. The sole aim of a state is to do good for its people. Individualist, anarchist and pluralist .thinkers regard a state as a means. Individualistic thinkers do accept the existence of a state, but they do not consider a state as an accomplishment. J.S. Mill and Herbert Spencer regard the state as a necessary evil. They want a state’s work to be limited to police works only. Anarchists believe that one’s interest is of state governance. For them, a state is an unnecessary, unwanted and unnatural institution. Pluralist thinkers regard state as a community, just like other communities. |
