Jeremy\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume explores the reasons for Hans Kelsen’s\nlack of influence in the United States and proposes ways in which Kelsen’s\napproach to law, philosophy, and political, democratic, and international\nrelations theory could be relevant to current debates within the U.S. academy\nin those areas. Along the way, the volume examines Kelsen’s relationship and\noften hidden influences on other members of the mid-century Central European\némigré community whose work helped shape twentieth-century social science in the\nUnited States.  The book includes major\ncontributions to the history of ideas and to the sociology of the professions\nin the U.S. academy in the twentieth century. Each section of the volume\nexplores a different aspect of the puzzle of the neglect of Kelsen’s work in\nvarious disciplinary and national settings. \nPart I provides reconstructions of Kelsen’s legal theory and defends\nthat theory against negative assessments in Anglo-American jurisprudence.  Part II focusesboth on Kelsen’s theoretical\nviews on international law and his practical involvement in the post-war\ndevelopment of international criminal law.  Part III addresses Kelsen’s theories of\ndemocracy and justice while placing him in dialogue with other major\ntwentieth-century thinkers, including two fellow émigré scholars, Leo Strauss\nand Albert Ehrenzweig. Part IV explores Kelsen’s intellectual legacies through\nEuropean and American perspectives on the interaction of Kelsen’s theoretical\napproach to law and national legal traditions in the United States and Germany.\n Each contribution features a particular\napplications of Kelsen’s approach to doctrinal and interpretive issues\ncurrently of interest in the legal academy. \nThe volume concludes with two chapters on the nature of Kelsen’s legal\ntheory as an instance of modernism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-09-05\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319331287\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-33130-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 368\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46608143581324,"sku":"9783319331287","price":143.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319331287.jpg?v=1773278456","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319331287","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
