Sovereignty, Knowledge, Law investigates the notion of
sovereignty from three different, but related perspectives: as a
legal question in relation to the sovereign state, as a political
question in relation to sovereign power, and as a metaphysical
question in relation to sovereign self-knowledge. The varied and
interchangeable uses of legal sovereignty, political sovereignty
and metaphysical sovereignty in contemporary debates have resulted
in a situation where the word sovereignty itself has become
something of a non-concept. Panu Minkkinen shows here how these
three perspectives have informed one another, by addressing their
shared relationship to law, and to the autocephalous function of
sovereignty; that is, the attempt to provide a single source and
foundation for law, power, and self-knowledge. Through an effort to
domesticate the intrinsically heterocephalous nature of power, the
juridical and jurisprudential aim has been to confine power within
the closed vertical hierarchy of traditional legal thinking.
Sovereignty, Knowledge, Law thus elaborates this heterocephaly,
proposing new understandings of sovereignty, as well as of law and
of legal scholarship.
