Article Abstract:

Christopher Morris's book 'An Essay on the Modern State' is discussed, with a focus on issues concerning the justification and authority of the state. Morris fails to consider the justification of democracy and its implications for the state's political authority, given the extensive disagreements about justice that exist in modern societies.
