Product Description

A Treatise of Legal Philosophy and General Jurisprudence is the first ever multivolume treatment of the issues in legal philosophy and general jurisprudence, from both a theoretical and a historical perspective. The work is aimed at jurists as well as legal and practical philosophers. Edited by the renowned theorist Enrico Pattaro and his team this book is a classical reference work that would be of great interest to legal and practical philosophers, as well as jurists and Philosophy of Law-scholar at all levels.
Volume 9: A History of the Philosophy of Law in the Civil Law World, 1600–1900
edited by Damiano Canale, Paolo Grossi and Hasso Hofmann
Provides an in-depth study of the different ways of understanding law which were developed from the mid-17th century to the end of the 19th century by jurists and legal philosophers working in the civil-law tradition. In particular, the book collects chapters offering a systematic history of the basic legal concepts and of the disciplines that systematized them in a set form in the legal thought of Continental Europe. The first two chapters discuss the way the scientific method elaborated and firmed up by modern natural-law theory was received into European legal science in the period leading to the French Revolution, with Chapter 1 focusing on the Germanic area, and Chapter 2 instead on the French area. Chapter 3 is devoted to the European legal Enlightenment, and to the reverberations this movement had on the culture as well as on the politics of law. Chapter 4 discusses the codification of law, describing in what ways and to what degree codification shaped the structure of Europe’s legal systems and the organization of its society through law. Chapter 5 traces out the development of German legal science through the crisis of modern natural-law theory and the birth of the great European codes, considering in particular the birth of the Historical School of law and its later development with Puchta. Chapter 6 reconstructs the birth and evolution of the modern science of administration, which played a central role in helping the institutions of the modern state become woven into the social and economic fabric. Chapter 7 is dedicated to the history of European constitutionalism. Chapter 8 discusses the crisis of conceptual jurisprudence, the voluntarist and vitalistic conceptions this crisis led to, and the birth of neo-idealist movements in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The volume editors and contributors are international leading specialists from Italy, France, Spain, and Germany.
Volume 10: The Philosophers’ Philosophy of Law from the Seventeenth Century to Our Days
by Patrick Riley
Offers a comprehensive and original treatment of the philosophers’ philosophy of law from Grotius to the "left Kantianism" of Rawls and Habermas. The volume also discusses some "philosophers of law" who are not philosophers in a broader sense, but who cannot be omitted because certain far greater "real" philosophers would then become unintelligible. The philosophy of law is viewed in this work as a final outgrowth of a more general moral philosophy, and that moral philosophy in turn as an outgrowth of "first philosophy" (metaphysics, epistemology, theology). Special prominence is given to Leibniz, Malebranche, and Kantianism. Leibniz combines philosophical and jurisprudential greatness in a way achieved by no other. Since Leibniz has never been rendered his jurisprudential "due" in English, the present volume offers an occasion for that rectification. On the other hand, without Malebranche’s contribution, the jurisprudence of Montesquieu and of Rousseau would not exist. Finally, Kantianism is crucial not only because of its influence on early Marx, Rawls, and Habermas, but also because the central Kantian practical notions seem to be the best moral-legal principles for a contemporary, non-theocratic, non-utilitarian world. Though the volume begins mainly with the "17th century," the author nonetheless offers a "Prologue on Machiavelli." This is simply because certain later figures are hard to make intelligible without a knowledge of "Machiavelism"—this applies above all to Hobbes, Leibniz, Rousseau, Hegel, and Nietzsche.
The author is an outstanding legal and political philosopher. Pupil of Michael Oakeshott, John Rawls, Judith Shklar, Carl J. Friedrich, and Lon Fuller, he is currently professor at Harvard University.

5-0 out of 5 stars A great philosopher on importance of history!
I read this book for a graduate class in history.Hegel's philosophy of history is perhaps the most fully developed philosophical theory of history that attempts to discover meaning or direction in history.Hegel incorporates a deeper historicism into his philosophical theories than his predecessors or successors. According to Hegel, the events whose story is told by political and legal history can be given a philosophical interpretation that will bring out its philosophical meaning.He does this himself in his lectures on the Philosophy of History.He views it to be a central task for philosophy to comprehend its place in the unfolding of history.History is for Hegel the development of Freedom, or rather, of the consciousness of Freedom.History is the process by which Spirit becomes conscious of itself.Individual thinkers, artists, and historical actors are primarily the means or instruments by which the collective spirit (God in the world) becomes conscious of truth.

Hegel constructs world history into a narrative of stages of human freedom, from the public freedom of the polis and the citizenship of the Roman Republic, to the individual freedom of the Protestant Reformation, to the civic freedom of the modern state.He attempts to incorporate the civilizations of India and China into his understanding of world history, though he regards those civilizations as static and therefore pre-historical.He constructs specific moments as "world-historical" events that were in the process of bringing about the final, full stage of history and human freedom.For example, Napoleon's conquest of much of Europe is portrayed as a world-historical event doing history's work by establishing the terms of the rational bureaucratic state.Hegel finds reason in history; but it is a latent reason, and one that can only be comprehended when the fullness of history's work is finished.

Many in Western Europe saw Europe or the Western European nations as the pinnacle of historical development, poised to carry their mission civilisatrice to Asia, Africa, Oceania.Yes, they could say, ancient civilizations had contributed to the eventual emergence of modern European civilization, but Europe had integrated what was valuable in those ancient insights into a higher form and it could now turn around and offer this higher form of culture to the rest of humanity who had remained "backward" and "underdeveloped."Hegel has very little to say about the New World.He acknowledges that the Native Americans have been overtaken by Europeans, thus the New World is a continuation of the Old World in its civilization and culture.He sees history progressing in America (populated by Englishmen), but finds that it has not matured yet.He sees America as a growing, prosperous, and industrious nation with a population that is a federation of people who love freedom.However, the nation is not politically fixed yet and he thinks, "a real state and a real government will arise only after a distinction of classes has arisen, when wealth and poverty become extreme."However, this can't happen as long as America has vast territory for people to expand and populate, he thinks these changes can't come about until America is as crowded as Europe so that people agitate each other and clamor for change.I think Hegel foresaw the Civil War.I think the America he ultimately envisioned is finally here today.Our country seems to be equally divided politically and I am not sure our present political institutions can hold us together.

Hegel once described Napoleon, whom he observed in the flesh just before or after one of Napoleon's major victories, as "the world spirit on horseback."Napoleon at that time was a major expression of the dynamic process which was transforming Europe in a certain direction.When Napoleon had served his purpose, he was discarded by the World Spirit, which then adopted other political leaders as its means.

It is worth observing that Hegel's philosophy of history is not the caricature of speculative philosophical reasoning that analytic philosophers sometimes paint it.His philosophical approach is not based solely on foundational a priori reasoning.Instead he proposes an "immanent" encounter between philosophical reason and the historical given.His prescription is that the philosopher should seek to discover the rational within the real--not to impose the rational upon the real."To comprehend what is, this is the task of philosophy, because what is, is reason."Hegel's approach is neither purely philosophical nor purely empirical; instead, he undertakes to discover within the best historical knowledge of his time, an underlying rational principle that can be philosophically articulated.

Recommended reading for anyone interested in philosophy, political science, and history.

5-0 out of 5 stars Nahua Eamples.
This contains Nahuatl, some Spanish translations, and all translated to English. It is very useful for me as examples of the survivors of Toltec Moral behaviour.

5-0 out of 5 stars Full of amazing information!
Many scholars such as Garibay and Miguel Leon-Portillo praise Sahagun's works as one of the primary sources for pre-columbian knowledge and without a doubt this books relates the rethoric and ancient Mexican thinking in a fabulous way.
