Description
Book Synopsis
Two Books of the Elements of Universal Jurisprudence was Pufendorf's first work, published in 1660. Its appearance effectively inaugurated the modern natural-law movement in the German-speaking world, establishing Pufendorf as a key figure and laying the foundations for his later major works.
Samuel Pufendorf (1632-1694) taught natural law and was court historian in both Germany and Sweden.
Thomas Behme is a member of the faculty at the Institute for Philosophy, Free University of Berlin.
Review Quotes
The Elementorum Jurisprudentiae Universalis Libri II was Pufendorf's (1632-94) first published work, and ushered in not only his own career as a lecturer on natural law, but also the modern natural-law tradition in Germany. Though it tends to be overshadowed by his later and better known work, says Behme (philosophy, Free U. of Berlin), it contains elements of his mature philosophy and is distinctive in that its organization methodologically follows the reformed Euclidean Aristotelianism of his mentor Erhard Weigel. This edition reprints William Abbot Oldfather's translation, published in 1931 by Clarendon Press.
