Synopsis

The book ""History Of The Theory Of Sovereignty Since Rousseau"" written by C.E. Merriam Jr. is a comprehensive study of the concept of sovereignty in political theory, tracing its evolution from the time of the Enlightenment thinker Jean-Jacques Rousseau to the present day. The author examines the various interpretations of sovereignty put forth by political philosophers and theorists such as Hobbes, Locke, Montesquieu, Hegel, Marx, and Weber, among others. The book explores the different meanings and implications of sovereignty, including its relationship to democracy, law, and authority. It also analyzes the impact of historical events, such as the French Revolution and World War II, on the development of the theory of sovereignty. The book is an important resource for scholars and students of political theory, law, and history, as well as for anyone interested in the concept of sovereignty and its significance in modern politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

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.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
