Introduction to Political Science Two Series of Lectures

The book explores the evolution of society as it transitions from being rooted in kinship or shared religion to recognizing the intrinsic value of governance and organization. It examines how communities begin to appreciate the concept of a common good that exists independently of their original bonds. This shift leads to a more autonomous understanding of social cohesion and the collective benefits of co-operative life, ultimately redefining the foundations of societal structures.
