Présentation de l'éditeur
The province proper of the following study is the development of the theory of sovereignty from the beginning of the reaction against the principles of the French Revolution. In view of the poverty of English literature on the history of political theory in general, to say nothing of the particular doctrine here discussed, it has been thought advisable, however, to prefix a brief sketch of the theory of sovereignty prior to the period which is the special subject of this investigation. The writer wishes to acknowledge his indebtedness to Professor Gierke, of Berlin, from whose works, lectures, and personal counsel he has obtained invaluable assistance; to Professor Burgess, of Columbia, whose doctrine of sovereignty first stimulated interest in the present study; and, above all, to Professor Dunning of the Department of Political Philosophy in Columbia, under whose direction all of the writers work in the field of political theory has been conducted.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the historical evolution of the concept of sovereignty, tracing its development from the aftermath of the French Revolution. The author explores the intellectual currents that shaped the understanding of supreme power in the state, examining the arguments of philosophers, theologians, and legal scholars who grappled with questions of authority, legitimacy, and the relationship between rulers and the ruled. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of major political and social upheavals, as Europe transitioned from absolute monarchies to more participatory forms of government. The author analyzes the diverse perspectives on sovereignty, ranging from the divine right of kings to the inalienable sovereignty of the people, and considers the implications of these ideas for the organization of states and the distribution of power within societies. Through a meticulous examination of key texts and historical events, the book sheds light on the complex and often contested nature of sovereignty. It explores themes of individual rights, social contracts, the rule of law, and the challenges of reconciling liberty with authority. By tracing the historical trajectory of the concept of sovereignty, the author provides valuable insights into the foundations of modern political thought and the enduring questions that continue to shape our understanding of government and the state. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
