On Sovereignty
On Sovereignty
A$27.65
On Sovereignty is Jean Bodin’s seminal exploration of the foundations of political power—arguably the most influential modern articulation of sovereignty.
Writing in the turbulent aftermath of religious wars and dynastic instability, Bodin shows that every stable commonwealth must be grounded in a single, indivisible source of supreme authority. With clarity and force, he demolishes illusions of mixed government, constitutional balance, and popular sovereignty, arguing that sovereignty cannot be fragmented without dissolving the state itself.
This volume distills the key passages from his Six Books of the Commonwealth, presenting them in a new, scholarly translation with extensive commentary. On Sovereignty remains essential reading for anyone interested in the nature of power, legitimacy, and the enduring problem of political order.
