Sales of the German edition were halted following the Nazi invasion of Austria in 1938, & the entire printing was later destroyed by wartime bombing. In this volume, Voegelin offers a critical examination of the most prominent European theories of state & constitutional law of the period while providing a political & historical analysis of the Austrian situation. He discusses the dismissal of Parliament in 1933, the civil war, the murder of Federal Chancellor Dollfuss, the adoption of the "Authoritarian Constitution" of 1934, & the predicament of being sandwiched between Hitler & Mussolini. A radical critique of Hans Kelsen's pure theory of law lies at the heart of this work, marking Voegelin's definitive departure from Neo-Kantian epistemology. For the first time, Voegelin elaborates on the important distinction between theoretical concepts & political symbols as a basis for explaining the nontheoretical & speculative character of ideologies, both left & right. He shows that total & authoritarian are symbols of ideological self-interpretation that have no theoretical value, a distinction basic to his later work in The New Science of Politics. Available for the first time in English, The Authoritarian State is a valuable addition to the Voegelin canon & to the field of intellectual history in general. 606 $aConstitutional history$zAustria 606 $aAuthoritarianism$zAustria 607 $aAustria$xPolitics and government$y1918-1938 615 0$aConstitutional history 615 0$aAuthoritarianism 676 $a193 s 676 $a342.436/029 700 $aVoegelin$b Eric$f1901-1985.$0143375 701 $aHein$b Ruth$01872302 701 $aWeiss$b Gilbert$0305363 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910955837403321 996 $aThe authoritarian state$94481427 997 $aUNINA
