ABSTRACT

The individualist theory of natural right is something more than a theory of right; it is likewise a theory of the State and of social life in general. The main purport of any such theory of society must be to tell us upon what society is based. Is it based on the individual; or is it based on an objective spiritual reality, upon something which must be conceived as an aggregate of a peculiar kind on a higher plane than the individual and therefore super-individual?
