Illustrated Political Philosophy

Bok av Liang Guangyao
We are born with a nation. Most people belong to some country. If someone loses nationality, he will lose his identity and the nation's protection. But the anarchists think that we need not nations at all. We could live well even we have no nations. On the contrary, nation is the source of all conflicts. Facing the challenge of the anarchists, we should defend the legality of nations. Of course, one direct and simple response is it's better to have a nation than having not, because nation's responsibilities are to maintain the social order, guarantee our life and property and make us live better. Plato and Aristotle even thought that the good life realization depended on nations. I think that Confucianism also has the similar opinion.
