  This work offers a fundamental re-evaluation of Hans Kelsen's Pure Theory of Law, a key text in modern legal philosophy. Kelsen's theory of law works alongside his political philosophy, revealing the Pure Theory as part of a wider attempt to understand how political power can be legitimately exercised in pluralist societies.
