Tarasiewicz, Paweł2024-10-282024-10-282010Studia Ełckie, 2010, T. 12, [brak numeracji stron].1896-6896https://theo-logos.pl/handle/123456789/22645Author aims at reconstructing essential features of the state in light of four different interpretations of the human nature. Out-carried analyzes lead to a conclusion that, only in perspective of a position which recognizes a necessity of fulfilling a human nature, the main task of state can consist in assisting a development of man as person. While accepted other conceptions of the human nature, activities undertaken within a state do expose men to destructive consequences. Assuming that the human nature is incurably vicious, the state is faced by an inevitable perspective of internal antagonisms accompanied by authoritarian ways of preventing them. An apotheosis of the human nature results in a vision of state open to etatism and totalitarianism. Whereas attempts of constructing a human nature lead to widely conceived social experiments which usually use a state as a handy instrument of oppressing a human person.plCC-BY-NC-ND - Uznanie autorstwa - Użycie niekomercyjne - Bez utworów zależnychfilozofiaphilosophyczłowiekhumannatura ludzkahuman naturepaństwostateMieczysław Albert Krąpiechistoria filozofiihistory of philosophyLudzka natura a państwoThe Human Nature and the StateArticle
