In his definitions, Wolff accurately describes the concepts of the state, politics, political philosophy, power, authority, and autonomy.

However, according to Wolff’s argument, which I also consent to it, man’s autonomy assumes that the individual members of the state have the responsibility for their actions. Therefore, members of Continue reading...

Blacks were discriminated and used as slaves, a situation that led them to create a social conscious framework that Europeans were born more superior to them. These dominant versions of the society beliefs proved to be very persuasive especially if Continue reading...
