Theological theory

Patriarchal, psychological and the theory of violence

Patriarchal theory. The essence of the theory was that the state arises from the patriarchal family as a result of its growth: family → set of families (urban) → set of villages (the state). Head patriarchal family (the patriarch) becomes head of state - the monarch. Thus, its power is continuation of the father’s power, himself the monarch is the father to all his subjects.

All this can be explained when looking at the views of the founder of the theory (Aristotle, Confucius, R. Filmera and M. Pokrovsky).

In a small space in the Greek city-policies, union families, in my opinion, was really the determinative of the state, because family is the earliest of the now existing forms of organizations of people sharing and cooperative work.

Psychological theory. Among the most prominent representatives of the psychological theory of the state are L. Petrazhytskiy, G. Tard, Freud and others. They attributed the emergence of states with special properties of the human psyche: the need for certain people to rule over others, the desire of some to obey, follow, and others - to conquer, as an example.

The reasons for the origin of state was in those abilities that primitive man attributed to tribal leaders, priests, shamans, sorcerers and so on. Their magic power and mental energy (they did a good hunt, fight disease) resulted in the dependence of consciousness of the original members of society from the elite. The power that was inherent in this elite begins to occur the government of the state.

Psychological theory, therefore, believed that the state is required to satisfy the needs of most of the people be obedient to certain individuals in society and also to suppress the aggressive attitudes of individuals.

The theory of violence. Its supporters were Kautsky, E. Dyurynh, L. Humplovych and others. The cause of the state they saw in the military-political factors - violence, conquering some other tribes, managing the conquered peoples territories, what requires a special apparatus of compulsion. It becomes the state.

Thus, proponents of the theory of violence claimed that primitive tribes, wich won, turned into the dominant part of society, formed a state and used the state power for abuse of conquered peoples.

Theological theory

One of the oldest theories that tried to explain the progress of the state was the theological theory. Its authors were medieval theologians Tertulian, Aurelius Augustine, Thomas A., and the nineteenth century scientists such as J. de Mestre.

Theological theory insisted on the divine origin of the state government, and was defended by the thesis: "All power is God’s." Despite its religious sense, this theory that originated back in ancient Judea reflects certain realities - theocratic nature of the initial states (power of the priests, a significant role churches, separation of powers on religious and secular, etc.).

The consecration of power by the divine principle (which occurred in the primary city-states), gave the government the authority and obligation. It is no accident that this theory was dominant in the Middle Ages and in the era of revolutions it was used to justify absolute power of the monarch.

Currently there are two options for modern sounding theological theory. The first of these - a Christian-democratic conception of the state, based on the uniqueness and self-value of any person, and the second option theological theory - a theory of cosmic expansion, according to which the state was granted to humanity from space aliens.
