Book Description
"The study of natural law and the law of nations in the early-modern period has expanded remarkably during the last decades. This has partly been inspired by contemporary concerns, in particular by the interest in the genealogy of human rights and the foundations of international law. However, natural law in this period has also been studied in its own historical right, with a view to understanding its intellectual sources and cultural and political uses. Early modern natural law emerged in a variety of forms at the volatile interface of theology, moral philosophy, political thought and jurisprudence. These "different models of natural law" have been described "as conflicting ways of configuring access to ethical and political norms in the service of rival cultural-political programmes". Within the language and concepts of natural law doctrines, then, quite divergent approaches were pursued to regulate and protect human society. Some operated at the level of the domestic state, with a view to rationalising and legitimating its political and juridical authority. Others operated beyond the borders of the territorial state, with a view to regulating interstate relations via the laws of war and peace"--

Pufendorf's International Political and Legal Thought
Author: Peter Schröder
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192883372
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
Contemporary research on the genealogy of human rights and the foundations of international law has brought renewed interest to the study of natural law in the early-modern period. German-born Samuel Pufendorf (1632-1694) is one of the eminent thinkers of this tradition, shaping the period's natural jurisprudence. This unique collection of essays edited by historian of political thought Peter Schröder fills in a gap in Pufendorf scholarship, exploring the significance of his contributions to political and legal thought on a broad scale. While many books studying Pufendorf's work are confined to one specific academic area, Pufendorf's International Political and Legal Thought is truly interdisciplinary, and the first book to substantially address the international aspect of Pufendorf's work. Ambitious and accessible, this collection is indispensable for scholars and students of intellectual history, political thought, international legal history, the Enlightenment, and political economy. With its focus on international law, Pufendorf's International Political and Legal Thought is a critical addition to the existing body of work on this renowned philosopher and jurist.

Two Books of the Elements of Universal Jurisprudence
Author: Samuel Freiherr von Pufendorf
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780865976191
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 425
Book Description
This was Pufendorf's first work, published in 1660. Its appearance effectively inaugurated the modern natural-law movement in the German-speaking world. The work also established Pufendorf as a key figure and laid the foundations for his major works, which were to sweep across Europe and North America. Pufendorf rejected the concept of natural rights as liberties and the suggestion that political government is justified by its protection of such rights, arguing instead for a principled limit to the state's role in human life.
