Modern political theory is a controversial topic, and there is great confusion about it. Not only are the issues it examines of a highly controversial nature, but there is disagreement about the nature of its main problems and the appropriate way to treat them. Therefore, explaining aspects of modern political thought is not an easy task.
The book is mainly concerned with issues related from a theoretical standpoint to the concepts of functional democracy and group personality, and from a practical standpoint with the various forms of socialist theory in which these concepts find expression.
These developments - which are distinguished by their modernity - have profound importance not only in themselves, but also in their relationship to the issue of the state's powers and functions. It affects the state's behavior at work, and it is most likely that this effect will increase in the future. Quite apart from their philosophical importance, it becomes important for those writing an introduction to modern political theory to explain these developments in some detail.
