This book conceptualizes international law as an expression of
practical reason, focusing on the genesis of modern international
law in the essence of the concept of sovereignty. Utilizing the
philosophical method of R.G. Collingwood, the essence of
sovereignty is sought in a dialectical model drawn from the
philosophy of David Hume. John Martin Gillroy transcends
conventional social scientific method, political theory, and its
understanding of global governance to make the study of the
philosophical underpinnings of international law accessible,
grounded, and practical. This book provides analytic tools for
understanding globalization, international legal thought, legal
theory, and political philosophy, offering engaging insights on a
complex field of study. It outlines the first of three arguments
describing the evolution of international law as a manifestation of
practical reason through an application of philosophical method to
the source, locus, and scope of the concept of sovereignty. It
moves from a dialectic balance favoring utility, to a balance
dominated by legal right, and finally to a dialectic of duty to
humanity and nature.
