Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much political thinking assumes a distinction between the public and the private. It is, for instance, widely held, that the state may address human action in the "public" realm but not in the "private". This work attempts to expose the flaws of such thinking, and calls for a more nuanced approach.
