Sovereignty and Inquiry into the Human Good
Book •
Bertrand de Jouvenel's 'Sovereignty: An Inquiry into the Political Good' examines the nature of sovereignty and its impact on individual freedom and societal order.
It critiques the modern concept of absolute sovereignty, arguing that it can lead to tyranny and the suppression of individual rights.
De Jouvenel proposes an alternative vision of political authority based on the pursuit of the common good and the protection of fundamental liberties.
He emphasizes the importance of moral and cultural restraints on power.
The book provides a compelling analysis of the challenges of maintaining freedom and justice in the face of ever-expanding state power.
