English summary: Wilhelm Hennis, who would have celebrated his 90th birthday on 18 February 2013, was a leading representative of German political science. Alongside his academic activities, he always involved himself in political life, and thus his long career has itself become a part of the history of the Federal Republic. Hennis' works dissects political ideas and institutions with his passion and power of judgment. Here we encounter Max Weber, Goya and Tocqueville, as well as political parties, the German Bundestag and educational policy. He saw his discipline as a practical science which poses the question: in what kind of order should people live? What makes Hennis' studies so fascinating is its existential dimension, something which today's social science seems to have lost. In this volume, internationally renowned scholars and journalists deal with his central questions and diagnoses. German description: Wilhelm Hennis, der am 18. Februar 2013 seinen 90. Geburtstag gefeiert hatte, war einer der bedeutendsten Vertreter der deutschen Politikwissenschaft. Wie kaum ein anderer seines Fachs hat er sich uber die akademische Tatigkeit hinaus in das politische Geschehen eingemischt und sich so in die Geschichte der Bundesrepublik eingeschrieben. Mit grosser Leidenschaft und Urteilskraft werden in seinem Werk die politischen Ideen und Institutionen untersucht. Wir begegnen dabei Max Weber, Goya und Tocqueville ebenso wie den Parteien, dem Bundestag oder der Bildungspolitik. Denn er verstand seine Disziplin als eine praktische Wissenschaft, die danach fragt, in welcher Ordnung die Menschen zusammenleben. Was Hennis' Studien faszinierend macht, ist eine existentielle Dimension, die das heutige Fach verloren zu haben scheint. In diesem Band beschaftigen sich international renommierte Wissenschaftler und Publizisten mit seinen Fragestellungen und Diagnosen.
