The Liberal State: A Speculation is a book written by Thomas Whittaker and first published in 1907. The book is a philosophical exploration of the concept of the liberal state, examining its origins, nature, and purpose. Whittaker argues that the liberal state is a product of the Enlightenment, and that its defining feature is the protection of individual freedom and autonomy. He also explores the relationship between the liberal state and other forms of government, such as democracy and socialism, and considers the challenges that the liberal state faces in the modern world. The book is an important contribution to the field of political philosophy, and remains relevant to contemporary debates about the role of the state in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
