The Liberal State: A Speculation is a book written by Thomas Whittaker and published in 1907. In this book, Whittaker explores the concept of the liberal state and what it means for society. He argues that the liberal state is a political system that values individual freedom, equality, and democracy. Whittaker also examines the role of the state in protecting these values and ensuring that they are upheld.Throughout the book, Whittaker provides a historical perspective on the development of the liberal state, tracing its origins back to the Enlightenment and the rise of liberalism in Europe. He also discusses how the liberal state has evolved over time and the challenges it faces in the modern world.One of the key themes of The Liberal State: A Speculation is the tension between individual freedom and the need for a strong state. Whittaker argues that while individual freedom is essential, it must be balanced against the need for social order and stability. He also explores the role of the state in promoting social justice and addressing issues such as poverty, inequality, and discrimination.Overall, The Liberal State: A Speculation is a thought-provoking exploration of the liberal state and its role in modern society. It offers a nuanced perspective on the challenges and opportunities facing liberal democracies and provides insights into how we can build a more just and equitable world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

What conclusions do the facts of cosmic and organic evolution require or permit on the origin and destiny of the world and the individual? From 1881 to 1925 Thomas Whittaker, an Oxford-trained scientist turned philosopher, grappled with this question, which he tried to answer by metaphysical interpretation of the sciences. The majority of the essays in this volume first appeared in Mind, and a few in other journals, while three had not been previously published. Whittaker ranges widely over some of the most daring theories of the past, from the early centuries of the common era (including Apollonius of Tyana and Origen), to the middle ages (including John Scotus Erigena and Nicholas of Cusa), the renaissance (Giordano Bruno, Shakespeare) and the early modern period. Whittaker's own view is that hypothesis and imagination are legitimate aids in the search for truth in both science and philosophy in a new synthesis.
