Hans Morgenthau
Personal Information
Description
Hans Joachim Morgenthau (February 17, 1904 – July 19, 1980) was one of the major twentieth-century figures in the study of international relations. Morgenthau's works belong to the tradition of realism in international relations theory, and he is usually considered among the most influential realists of the post-World War II period. Morgenthau made landmark contributions to international relations theory and the study of international law. His Politics Among Nations, first published in 1948, went through five editions during his lifetime and was widely adopted as a textbook in U.S. universities. While Morgenthau emphasized the centrality of power and "the national interest," the subtitle of Politics Among Nations —"the struggle for power and peace"— indicates his concern not only with the struggle for power but the ways in which it is limited by ethics, norms, and law.

"With an intellectual autobiography by Hans J. Morgenthau."
The concept of the political
Published in English for the first time, this careful translation of Hans J. Morgenthau's 1933 French monograph La Notion du 'Politique' brings this important early work of the 'founding father' of International Relations to an English-speaking audience. Morgenthau's European writings are mostly unknown to the English-speaking IR community, yet they comprise some of his most influential work from a politics and IR perspective. In this book, Morgenthau presents his notion of the political which he develops in critical disassociation from Carl Schmidt's conception of 'friend' and 'foe'and Hans Kelsen's legal positivism. These critiques are crucial for understanding Morgenthau's later work which has often been used ₆ and misused ₆ by US Foreign Policy makers and International Relations scholars. With a comprehensive introduction and contextualization by the editors, this highly significant book will be essential for all students and scholars of Politics, International Relations and International Law to safeguard democratic politics against the perils of ideology and positivism.
