Georg Jellinek is known as one of the most prominent representative of German legal positivism. This article aims at identifying and discussing the more theoretical-political connotation of Jellinek’s thought with a particular focus on his liberal inspiration. According to the perspective of the history of political thought, this article shows how some intellectual premises to Jellinek’s liberalism take shape and emerge from a series of young Jellinek’s writings on history of philosophy and history of ideas.

The essay aims at historically analysing Hans Kelsen’s theory of parliamentary democracy as it was developed between 1920 and 1932. I will seek to show how Kelsen elaborated a discourse on democracy which identified representative system, guarantees of civil and political rights, protection of minorities, dialectical relationship between majority and minority within the legislative body, political compromises, party pluralism and relativism as the key elements of that particular system. Unlike the two prevailing interpretative approaches to Kelsen’s political thought (i.e. Political philosophy and Philosophy of Law), I will adopt the perspective of the History of Political Thought, which means that I will investigate Hans Kelsen’s interpretation of the essence and value of democracy in relation to the concrete historical and political dimension he referred to. In doing so, I will seek to emphasize how Kelsen’s main political works of that time are conceptually oriented against speci...

The article addresses the concept of "social homogeneity" within the work of one of the most interesting jurists and political thinkers of the Weimar period: Hermann Heller. The aim is to discuss such a concept as his personal reflection on the Weimar crisis and as an interesting point of view about the never-ending issue for democratic governments and societies of how to reach a compromise between social plurality and political unity.

Georg Jellinek es concebido, por lo general, como uno de los representantes más destacados del positivismo jurídico alemán. En este artículo, lo observo no solo como un teórico del derecho, sino también como un pensador de inspiración liberal. En ese sentido, busco demostrar algunas continuidades y conexiones clave entre los aspectos fundamentales de su teoría jurídica positivista, su visión política de inspiración liberal, así como su estancia en Viena y migración posterior hacia Alemania.

Resumen Georg Jellinek es generalmente conocido como un teórico y experto en dere-cho público, como exponente del positivismo jurídico alemán de finales del siglo xix. Desde la perspectiva de la historia del pensamiento político, este artículo tiene como objetivo rescatar del pensamiento de este importante autor la connotación teó-rico-política de inspiración liberal. Más precisamente, el artículo trata de demonstrar cómo algunas de las raíces intelectuales del pensamiento liberal de Jellinek pueden ser en parte identificadas en una serie de escritos de juventud sobre la historia de la filosofía y la historia de las ideas.

Negli ultimi decenni il volto dell'Europa si è fatto sempre più plurale, non solo sul versante etnico ma anche su quello religioso. È tornato così in primo piano il tema della libertà, inclusa quella religiosa, intesa quale di-ritto umano. Il volume analizza il complesso intreccio tra religioni e diritti umani nel contesto italiano, muovendo dal caso storico di due importanti minoranze come quella ebraica e quella valdese, fino agli attuali flussi migratori e, nello specifico, alla loro componente musulmana. Attraverso una prospettiva sociologica, che si avvale anche di competenze storico-politiche e storico-sociali, il testo mette in risalto come il concreto rico-noscimento della libertà religiosa possa essere un mezzo per costruire una convivenza pacifica e rispettosa dell'altro in un paese multiculturale.

After the first volume on Monisms and Pluralisms in the History of Political Thought, the present work aims at further broadening our reflection on the concepts of monism and pluralism beyond Isaiah Berlin's popular dichotomy, while being conscious of how powerfully they penetrated into our language and society. With this purpose the authors of the essays here collected addressed a series of social and political models having monist and/or pluralist connotation, while showing how — in historical terms — the ideal connection between pluralism-liberty and monism-lack of it, which is generally taken for granted, becomes more nuanced and problematic. In this sense, the present work wants to show how just the History of social and political models offers us a series of diversified pluralisms and diversified monisms. A kind of achievement which might be useful in our time, characterized by a sort of attitude towards easy generalizations.
