Summary: Theory of State is a study of the concept of state, as viewed by various philosophers, from Plato to Marx. Indeed, there is no dearth of literature on this subject by competent scholars. This study only supplements the vast and voluminous body of writings, but with a difference. The usual tendency among the scholars has been to assess a political philosopher only from the present day relevance. Such an approach, though important as it may be in its own right, belies a proper and unbiased estimate of the philosopher. The study aims to remove the pitfalls of a polemic account. It purports to evaluate a philosopher in the objectives conditions of his own times. That is why, the philosophers, included in the study, speak for themselves. An attempt has, thus, been made to establish linkage in the thought-process of the various philosophers so to present a coherent account.
