This is a fascinating exploration of the history of the development of legal philosophy, highlighting the role of Hugo Grotius and his followers in Germany, Pufendorf and especially Thomasius, in the development of modern natural-law legal philosophy. Kant, Hegel, and Schelling are also highlighted, as is the rise of the Historical School of Law in the work of Savigny and Puchtha, as inspired by Edmund Burke.
History of Legal Philosophy is scheduled for publication in 2010.
