Description and Table of Contents
Description
The essays collected in this volume were written over a period of 12 years and address crucial problems bearing on the modern state. The author portrays the state, as it has emerged in the form of political order in modern Europe and has taken shape successively as "Rechtsstaat" democratic state. The changes that the state as a form of political order has undergone as a result of the transition to democracy and the modern welfare state cannot be overlooked, nor can one ignore the fact that the problems of a developing industrial society and of an intellectual and ethical pluralism pose a challenge to the political order for which a satisfactory answer still needs to be found.
