Paperback. Zustand: New. Samuel Pufendorf was a pivotal figure in the early German Enlightenment and, along with Grotius, the great renewer of natural law theory. His version of voluntarist natural law theory had a major influence both on the European continent and in the English speaking world, particularly Scotland and America. "An Introduction to the History of the Principal Kingdoms and States of Europe" was first translated in 1695 but has been rare in English since the late eighteenth century. Pufendorf's histories exhibit the core notions of his natural law theory by recounting the development and current, reciprocal relations of individual states as collective social agents engaged in securing their own and, thus, their members' interests, including self-preservation. Hence, his histories essentially functioned as vehicles for philosophical demonstration or justification. Moreover, by emphasising empirical details and legitimating (in principle) the de facto politics of interest, these histories appealed strongly to the emerging nation-states of early modern Europe, which sought ratification of their external and internal actions, policies, and pedagogues. He based his account on the respective country's own historians and took care to describe its position from its own current and historical perspectives. It was a novel and appealing approach to political history, judging from the long and diverse publishing record of the work. …

Zustand: Gut. XLVIII, 716 S. ; 24 cm. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Samuel Pufendorf's An Introduction to the History of the Principal Kingdoms and States of Europe (1682) became one of his most famous, widely reprinted, and influential works. Originally dictated in German as student lectures, it was translated into the major European languages and underwent numerous editions and transformations during the eighteenth century. Its complex publication history is sketched in four appendices to the current, Liberty Fund edition. -- The Introduction clarifies the connection between Pufendorf's natural law theory and his historical works. In the Preface and the end-of-chapter analyses of different states' interests (including those of the papacy as a political force), Pufendorf associates the internal and external affairs of states and exhibits the relation of natural and international law. The Introduction thus facilitated the transition between seventeenth-century constitutional concerns and eighteenth-century inter-state relations. -- The Introductions wealth of historical detail and frank assessment of particular states' interests appealed to both statesmen and general readers eager to orient themselves in a volatile European context, and the book quickly became a best-seller. It remains of interest to anyone concerned with the links between politics and history, the development of early modern historiography, and the new natural law context in which these particular disciplines took shape. It makes available to contemporary scholars and students a carefully edited, extensively annotated, helpfully segmented, and historically situated English version of one of Pufendorf's most influential works.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Samuel Pufendorf was a pivotal figure in the early German Enlightenment. His version of voluntarist natural law theory had a major influence both on the European continent and elsewhere in the English-speaking world, particularly Scotland and America. Pufendorf's An Introduction to the History of the Principal Kingdoms and States of Europe (1682) became one of his most famous and widely reprinted works. It went through multiple editions during the eighteenth century, but its impact has largely been forgotten. Pufendorf's histories exhibited the core notions of his natural law theory by describing the development and current, reciprocal relations of individual states as collective social agents engaged in securing their own and, thus, their members' interests, including self-preservation. Hence, they essentially functioned as vehicles for philosophical demonstration or justification. Moreover, by emphasizing empirical details and legitimating (in principle) a de facto politics of interest, the histories appealed strongly to the emerging nation-states of early modern Europe, which sought ratification of their external and internal actions, policies, and pedagogies. Pufendorf based his accounts on each country's own historians and took care to describe its position from its own current and historical perspectives. It was an appealing approach to political history, judging from the long and diverse publishing record of the work. This book will be of interest to anyone concerned with the history of international law and the development of historiography during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It makes available to contemporary scholars and students a carefully edited, helpfully annotated, and historically situated English version of one of Pufendorf's most popular and influential works. Samuel Pufendorf (1632-1694) was one of the most important figures in early-modern political thought. An exact contemporary of Locke and Spinoza, he transformed the natural law theories of Grotius and Hobbes, developed striking ideas of toleration and of the relationship between church and state, and wrote extensive political histories and analyses of the constitution of the German empire. Jodocus Crull (d. 1713/14) was a German émigré to England, a medical man, and a translator and writer. Michael J. Seidler is Professor of Philosophy at Western Kentucky University.
