Pufendorf's International Political and Legal Thought
View through CrossRef
Abstract
As attested by a steadily expanding scholarship, Samuel Pufendorf (1632–94) was one of the most eminent and influential political thinkers in early modern times. In particular, he significantly shaped early modern natural jurisprudence, being called, for instance, ‘the most influential figure in the academic institutionalisation of natural law’. In addition, Pufendorf’s importance is also increasingly recognized among scholars working on (the history of) international law and thought. Yet, there has, to date, been no comprehensive work dedicated to this dimension of his thought. The present volume seeks to remedy this state of affairs by clarifying Pufendorf’s—sometimes understated—ideas about interstate relations from a variety of new and multidisciplinary perspectives.
