Evolutionism, Political Philosophy, Geography

As has been previously discussed, the abstraction of Political Philosophy from historical circumstances can obscure the contingency of some of the features of a proposed model, e. g. the Nationalism typical of the Modern era.  Similarly prone is abstraction from geographical circumstances.  For, entailed in such abstraction is a neglect of environmental factors in the determination of the optimum social organization.  For example, in a more edenic climate, rigid collective labor organization might be less required than in a less naturally hospitable habitat, with the implication that the former might be more politically Individualistic than the latter.  So, a Political Philosophy derived from Evolutionism might be more mindful of such environmental nuances.
