Widely regarded as the most important legal theorist of the twentieth century, the author is best known for his formulation of the "pure theory of law" - within which the study of international law was his special field of work. Divided into two parts, this volume, allows him to adjust his theory to American circumstances after World War II.

A self-contained treatise, by one of the leading European legal philosophers of this century, on such topics as the legal norm, law and morality, the concept of the legal person, the legal system, legal interpretation, the identity of the law and state, and the theory of international law.

The aim of the series is to publish high-quality studies in English or German that deal with topics in practical philosophy from a broadly analytic perspective. These include questions in meta-ethics, normative ethics and 'applied' ethics, as well as in political philosophy, philosophy of law and the philosophy of action.

This book fills the void between what is and isn't known about Hans Kelsen's political philosophy, and the ways that philosophy has and will continue to shape political debates inherent to democracy in the future. For the first time in English, this classic book - with an introduction by political theorist Nadia Urbinati - provides an overview of Kelsen's career and his contributions to 20th century political thought.

Hans Kelsen is considered by many to be the foremost legal thinkers of the 20th century. He made important contributions to legal theory and international law and in this translation of "Allgemeine Theorie der Normen", Kelsen develops his "pure theory of law" into a "general theory of norms" and examines the applicability of logic to norms.
