The article focuses on the book "The State in Theory and Practice," by Harold J. Laski. No contemporary political scientist has analyzed problems of sovereignty and the state with greater clarity and precision and with a finer sense for the actualities of political history than Laski. In his most recent volume he does justice to his earlier philosophical and historical interest in the character of the state by a rather final and telling refutation of the metaphysical theory of the state as held by Hegel and Bosanquet. In this new presentation of the case the rather desperate hope that British constitutional history might qualify this pattern, entertained but not accepted in the earlier volume, is definitely abandoned.
