Publisher's Synopsis
A work of great breadth that summarizes an entire intellectual life, A Pure Theory of the Republic traverses the great questions of modern political thought. With overwhelming historical, philosophical, and juridical knowledge, a privileged political experience before and during the so-called Spanish Transition, and a thoroughgoing non-ideological stance, Antonio García-Trevijano offers an illuminating solution to the current political situation in Europe (and beyond). Among its many elements, A Pure Theory of the Republic constitutes the first positive theory of a republican state. It corrects numberless ill-defined concepts, lays the foundation of a true political science, performs the most accurate and devastating criticism of the Parties State, and explains how collective freedom may be institutionally guaranteed. Divided into three distinct books, A Pure Theory of the Republic promises to be a landmark in political thought for centuries to come.
