More than 50 years after its completion, Wilhelm Hennis' doctoral thesis in jurisprudence is now available in print for the first time. As the reader will notice, it has lost none of its topicality. The book contains a whole host of ideas upon which Hennis later elaborated in his works on political science. The subject of the thesis is the concept of sovereignty, in which the author sees one of the basic problems of social co-existence. For this reason he is sceptical of any sort of formalistic restriction or scholarly solution to this problem.
