Question

Essay on the Evaluation of Organic Theory of Political Science

Answer 1

There are two points of view about the organic nature of the State. Barker says, “The State is not an organism; but it is like an organism.” The organic analogy has a useful purpose to serve as it emphasises the unity of the State.

The State is not a mere aggregation of people. It is a social unity. Man cannot lead a life of isolation. Dependence is his very psychology and individuals depend on one another and on the State as a whole.

The welfare of each is involved in the welfare of all. He cannot be separated from society, just as a hand or a leg, without losing its utility cannot be separated from the body. The State has a collective life like an organism.
