The Foundations Of Sovereignty: And Other Essays (1921) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781120858399)

The Foundations of Sovereignty: And Other Essays is a collection of essays written by Harold Joseph Laski and first published in 1921. The book is a philosophical exploration of the concept of sovereignty and its relationship to democracy, individualism, and the state. Laski argues that sovereignty is not an abstract concept but is rooted in the historical and social context of a particular society. He examines the role of the state in protecting individual rights and promoting the common good, and he explores the tensions between individualism and the collective interests of society. The book also includes essays on the nature of political power, the relationship between politics and economics, and the role of education in shaping political consciousness. Laski's writing is characterized by his clear and forceful style, his deep knowledge of political theory and history, and his commitment to social justice and democratic ideals. The Foundations of Sovereignty is a classic work of political philosophy that continues to be widely read and debated today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
