Paperback. Condizione: New. Christian Wolff's natural law theory was founded on his rationalist philosophy and metaphysics, which were strongly influenced by the philosophy of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. Like Leibniz, Wolff was convinced that justice and morality were based on universally valid principles of reason and that these principles were accessible to human understanding without the aid of religious revelation. Wolff did not therefore follow the voluntarist tradition of natural law, which was characteristic of Germany's two other famous natural jurists of the early Enlightenment--Samuel Pufendorf and Christian Thomasius. The laws of nature, Wolff argued, were not just because God had willed them; rather, God had willed them because they were just. According to Wolff, this natural law was the foundation of the law of nations. Wolff's work considered central issues such as the duties of nations toward themselves and other nations, the laws of war and peace, and the laws governing the treatment of diplomatic representatives. With the Liberty Fund edition, Wolff's work, heretofore relatively unknown to the English-speaking world, will again become available to scholars and students alike.…

Condizione: New. KlappentextrnrnA cornerstone of eighteenth-century thought, The Law of Nations is a treatise on the philosophy of human action, on the foundations of political communities, and on international law, and it influenced.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Christian Wolff's The Law of Nations is a cornerstone of eighteenth-century thought. A treatise on the philosophy of human action, on the foundations of political communities, and on international law, it influenced philosophers throughout the eighteenth-century Enlightenment world. According to Knud Haakonssen, general editor of the Natural Law and Enlightenment series, 'before Kant's critical philosophy, Wolff was without comparison the most influential German thinker for several decades as well as a major European figure.' One of the most striking features of The Law of Nations is Wolff's single-minded dedication to what he calls the 'scientific method.' Though different from what we understand by that today, Wolff's method still focuses on the illumination of truth via a step-by-step, logical examination of what is already known in order to explain what is unknown. As such, The Law of Nations is Wolff's triumphant synthesis of his scientific method and his observations regarding the operations of nations. It examines the full gamut of national functions: what duties nations have to themselves and to each other, how national ownership should be viewed, how treaties should be formed, and how nations should act in both war and peace. Though Wolff's contemporaries in authority did not always accept his ideas-he was banished from the lands of the king of Prussia for seventeen years for his radical notions regarding moral obligation and human free will-his influence ultimately spread across Europe, shaping philosophical study in many German, Dutch, and Scandinavian universities especially. The Liberty Fund edition of The Law of Nations is the first in English since the 1934 translation by Joseph H. Drake. Thomas Ahnert has revised and corrected that translation for readability and accuracy and has also added footnotes that explain the many references and technical terms Wolff uses throughout the text. Thomas Ahnert is Reader and Head of History at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. Among his publications are The Moral Culture of the Scottish Enlightenment, 1690-1805, an edition of Thomasius's Institutes of Divine Jurisprudence, and Religion and the Origins of the German Enlightenment.…
