"The Evolution of States" by J.M. Robertson is an expanded version of a
previously published work called "An Introduction to English Politics." The
book aims to bring to light the ruling forces in political life, both ancient
and modern, rather than providing a complete history of political
institutions. The author acknowledges the increasing focus on understanding
historic causation in terms of determining conditions, particularly economic
factors. While the book may expound views of history that are not widely
accepted, the author believes they are made in the light of a study of the
concrete process. The author also questions the utility of explaining modern
historic developments in terms of special psychic changes or movements in
communities. Instead, the book emphasizes the importance of establishing the
constantly recurring economic factors of each period and their impact on
intellectual values. Ultimately, the book seeks to influence the reader's
psychic processes and highlight the social significance of material
circumstances, knowledge, and ignorance.
