Sažetak
From the perspective of the political theory such is the one in Tractatus Theologico-Politicus by Benedictus Spinoza, the purpose of the state as a legal order is the establishment of the permanent condition of security and preservation of the people’s liberty. This also presumes instrumental-functional purposefulness of the state apparatus, which reflects in the combination of protection and obedience. Such a legislative establishment has its real and abstract dimension. Ideally, the latter is in service of the former. Problems that occur in practice as a challenge to the legal order are states of emergency, which are directly confronting security and freedom thus making them mutually exclusive. From that angle, legal-political thought is in need of a clear and distinct understanding of the concepts of freedom and servitude in the context of submission to the autonomous legislation of mind.
