This book combines philosophical, intellectual-historical and
political-theoretical methodologies to provide a new synoptic
reading of the history of German political philosophy.
Incorporating chapters on the political ideas of Luther and
Zwingli, on the politics of the early Enlightenment, on Idealism,
on Historicism and Lukacs, on early Twentieth-Century political
theology, on the Frankfurt School, and on Habermas and Luhmann, the
book sets out both a broad and a detailed discussion of German
political reflection from the Reformation to the present. In doing
so, it explains how the development of German political philosophy
is marked by a continual concern with certain unresolved and
recurrent problems. It claims that all the major positions address
questions relating to the origin of law, that all seek to account
for the relation between legal validity and metaphysical and
theological superstructures, and that all are centred on the
attempt to conceptualise and reconstruct the character of the legal
subject.
