Interstice Amid the Fabric of Life in Bloomington, MN

A very-modest foray into the State of Nature theories propounded by the classic theorists, including Locke, Hobbes and Rousseau. The preliminary survey, from a diachronic perspective, explores the fundamental principles and conditions of nature and natural man's position within it, mankind's encounter with itself, and institutions formed to bridge and traverse the tears and rents in the fabric of civil society, focusing upon the sociological cardinal attributes of and behavior by mankind in its earliest and purest stages. It proceeds to explore and consider mankind and government in their essential characteristics, analyzing the individual and collective psychology of mankind during the same historical phase, and the nature of government introduced during these and later stages. To an extent it as well strives to examine these elements and the implications therefrom in the later evolution and practice of an altered historical context. Possible successor volumes would extend these implications to current issues and events.
