Main description: Eric Voegelin is famous as a philosopher of history and a as one of the most eminent political scientists of the 20th century. His most fundamental work on political theory, the "New Science of Politics, is nowadays considered a classic in ist field. While the "New Science" has always been a very controversial book, ist critics have hardly ever taken the pain to pinpoint the weaknesses they condemmed Voegelins book for. There is, however, one exception: Only shortly after the appearance of Voegelins "New Science" in 1954, Hans Kelsen has written a most detailed reply to this book of his former student. This reply, which was known to Voegelin and is mentioned in his autobiography, is now being published by the ontos verlag. Being a distinguished philosopher himself of an erudition and breadth of knowledge that matches that of Eric Voegelin, Hans Kelsen is able to support the critical stance he takes on Voegelin "New Science" by clear and well founded argument. This critical reply to Voegelins "New Science" is not only an important contribution to the dispute about the foundations of political order in modern society, but will also prove valuable to readers generally interested in Voegelins life and work.
This first edition of Kelsen's work on legal theory is a product of his neo-Kantian phase. It contains sections on law and nature, law and morality, overcoming the dualism of legal theory, the hierarchical structure of the legal system and the nature of international law.

Hans Kelsen examines the majority principle from the transformation of the natural freedom into civil freedom according to Rousseau. The majority rule turns out to give an estimate of self-government, insofar as the majority rule maximizes the number of those whose individual will coincides with the collective will. It is even better than unanimity or super majority. The majority decision satisfies best both the ideals of freedom and equality. Furthermore, the use of the majority rule fits a type of personality seeking compromise and respect for the minority. Eventually, behind democracy and the majority decision, relativistics can be understood. In other words, this philosophy by Kelsen explains that as access to truths or absolute values seem to be out of reach, people accept the majority decision quite easily.

What is Pure Theory of Law ?
The text of Kelsen translated here dates from 1953. It therefore falls squarely between the two editions of his Pure Theory of Law (1934 and 1960). In this article, Kelsen re-examines the essential theses of his theory in an effort to demonstrate the structural specificity demanded by any valid theory of law, contrasting it to ethics and politics, as well as to the natural sciences grounded in principles of causality.
