ABSTRACT

First Principles. The science of Politics has two axioms: first, that each man desires to "have his own way" in life; secondly, that men cannot avoid living together. The first axiom has been developed into a philosophy by the school of Hobbes, by the Utilitarians, and by the German exponents of "the will-to-power". The second has been developed by the Aristotelians and by many recent sociologists and social psychologists.
