The Foundations Of Sovereignty: And Other Essays (1921) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781167049453)

The Foundations of Sovereignty: And Other Essays is a collection of essays written by Harold Joseph Laski and published in 1921. Laski was a prominent British political theorist and philosopher who played a significant role in shaping the intellectual landscape of the early 20th century. In this book, Laski explores the concept of sovereignty and its relationship to democracy, individual rights, and the rule of law. He argues that sovereignty is not an absolute power but rather a social construct that is subject to the constraints of political and legal institutions. Laski also examines the role of the state in modern society and the challenges of balancing individual freedom with collective welfare. Other topics covered in the book include the nature of political authority, the limits of government intervention, and the importance of civic education in a democratic society. Overall, The Foundations of Sovereignty is a thought-provoking and insightful work that remains relevant to contemporary debates about the nature and limits of political power.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
