In an extended dialogue with democratic jurist Hans Kelsen, Adler shows that the so-called necessity of law as the neutral arbiter of a democratic society has been heretofore a flawed imposition of the authoritative understandings of the ruling classes. Adler?s brings to his argument the Kantian concept of ?sociation?, where every human judgment perforce sets its determinations within its view of the social whole, demonstrating that an accurate comprehension of interdependent equality that realizes an objective ?sociation? can only occur in a ?classless? society. 410 0$aHistorical Materialism Book Series;$vvolume192. 606 $aCommunist state 606 $aState, The 606 $aCommunism and society 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCommunist state. 615 0$aState, The. 615 0$aCommunism and society. 676 $a321.92 700 $aAdler$b Max$f1873-1937.$081555 702 $aBlum$b Mark E. 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511651403321 996 $aThe Marxist conception of the state$92549588 997 $aUNINA
