Description
Book Synopsis
Samuel Pufendorf's The Whole Duty of Man, According to the Law of Nature suggested a purely conventional basis for natural law. Rejecting scholasticism's metaphysical theories, Pufendorf found the source of natural law in humanity's need to cultivate sociability.
Samuel Pufendorf (1632-1694) taught natural law and was court historian in both Germany and Sweden.
Ian Hunter is Australian Professorial Fellow in the Centre for the History of European Discourses, University of Queensland.
David Saunders is Professor Emeritus in the Faculty of Arts at Griffith University.
Review Quotes
Unlike their biased eighteenth-century forebears, Messrs. Hunter and Saunders are careful and meticulous. In their many detailed footnotes, they point to the disparities between the original Latin and the English translation. Their introduction provides a short but beautifully clear account of Pufendorf's natural law theory, of Barbeyrac's reception and modification of that theory, and the context of Tooke's translation...an admirable part of Liberty Fund's handsome Natural Law and Enlightenment Classics series.
