Description

Explore the complex political theories of Harold J. Laski in this influential collection of essays. Originally published in 1921, The Foundations of Sovereignty expands upon the core ideas Laski introduced in his 1919 work, Authority in the Modern State. This text provides a deep look into his unique perspective on how power and governance function within society. Laski challenges traditional views of government by arguing that the state is not a supreme entity. Instead, he presents the state as one association among many. In this framework, the state must actively compete for the loyalty and obedience of the people. This book is a significant resource for anyone studying political science, ideology, or the history of political thought. It offers a foundational look at the relationship between the individual and the state, making it a valuable addition to any academic library or collection of political philosophy.
