The Divided State traces the crisis of modern democracy back to its roots-namely, the human instinct for groupness-and presents a bold new perspective.
Beginning with the question of how groupness evolved into a core human instinct, the book examines how it manifests in social relations through the formation of factions, and explores the nature and dynamics of these factions in depth.
To analyze society, the book redefines key concepts such as factions, factional movements, factional structures, and ideology. It constructs a coherent theoretical framework to explain how factions operate, shedding light on the hidden mechanisms of modern society.
Grounded in social theory and political philosophy, the book argues that democratic systems-built on the principle of individual sovereignty-are inherently unstable due to their structural tension with the human instinct for groupness.
For readers interested in political theory, sociology, or the ideological roots of democratic instability, The Divided State offers a timely and thought-provoking framework for understanding today's fractured political landscape.
