THE ARGUMENT PROCEEDS BY MEANS OF AN ETYMOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE HISTORY OF THE CONCEPT OF SCIENTIFIC SOCIALISM AND BY MEANS OF DELINEATING WHAT IS BELIEVED TO BE A DECISIVE SEPARATION OF MARX'S NOTION OF THE MATERIALIST INTERPRETATION OF HISTORY, WHICH INVOLVES ONE PARTICULAR WAY OF USING THE TERM SCIENCE AS OPPOSED TO UTOPIAN SOCIALISM BASED ON VIEWS SUPPORTED BY NATURAL SCIENCE.

MARX'S LONG CRITIQUE OF MAX STIRNER HAS LONG BEEN IGNORED, BUT IS OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE FOR AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORK AS A WHOLE. MARX HAS CONSIDERED STIRNER'S WORK TO BE THE CULMINATION OF HEGELIAN THOUGHT, WHICH SHARED YOUNG HEGELIAN WEAKNESSES AS WELL AS ITS HISTORICAL STRENGTHS.

"This book is rooted in the post-9/11 debate over the scope of the president's authority to react to perceived emergency. One side argues for unbounded and unilateral executive authority, and the other a recommitment to rights, subject to circumstantial limits. Almost all sides converge on some variation of the idea that during emergencies the laws must give way (they just disagree over when and how they give way), that the constitution is not a 'suicide pact,' and that executive officials must be given leeway to act against the law, even if subject to post-hoc accountability.
