Sobre o autor
John Mackinnon Robertson (1856–1933) was a prolific Scottish journalist, rationalist, and politician, as well as a keen literary and social critic. He is most widely recognized for his scholarly contributions to literary and historical studies, including an extensive examination of sociopolitical structures in his work ‘The Evolution of States’ (1912). Born on the Isle of Arran and self-educated, he grew to develop a critical and analytical lens through which he surveyed various aspects of society and politics. Robertson’s rationalistic approach led him to question conventional beliefs and narratives, which he articulated through a progressive and often polemical style. His writings frequently tackled the subject of development, from the evolution of religious concepts to the growth and change of state systems, always with a sharp focus on the empirical and the rational. His work displayed a deep understanding of historical context and its application to contemporary issues. ‘The Evolution of States’ exemplifies his interest in the mechanisms and patterns of societal progression and governance. With a career marked by an unwavering commitment to humanist principles, Robertson’s contributions extend beyond the written word, reflecting a life dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge, truth, and the betterment of society. His legacy continues to be felt in the fields of political theory and historical analysis, particularly among those who advocate for a reasoned, evidence-based understanding of human development.
