Freedom, value, power, justice, government, legitimacy are major themes
of the present inquiry. It explores the ontological structure of human
beings associating with one another, the basic phenomenon of society. We
human beings strive to become who we are in an ongoing power interplay
with each other. Thinkers called as witnesses include Plato, Aristotle,
Anaximander, Protagoras, Descartes, Leibniz, Hobbes, Locke, Adam Smith,
Hegel, Marx, Schopenhauer, Heidegger, Schumpeter, Hayek, Schmitt, Ernst
