His theory was the most influential natural law philosophy of the seventeenth- and eighteenth-centuries. He advanced a compelling reply to Grotius and Hobbes, and in doing so, set the intellectual problems for theorists such as Locke, Hutcheson, Hume, Rousseau, and Smith. In the aftermath of the Thirty Years' War, Pufendorf sets forth a classic justification of the early modern enlightened state and of the proper relations of moral and political subjection to it. This lucid and historically sensitive translation by Michael Silverthorne, (a classicist and a specialist in Roman Law and early modern political thought) is the first since the early twentieth century. James Tully's introduction sets the text in its seventeenth-century context, summarises the main arguments, surveys recent literature on Pufendorf, and shows how Pufendorf transformed natural law  theory into an independent discipline of juristic political philosophy which dominated reflection on politics until Kant.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eMain works by Pufendorf and abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e Chronology of Pufendorf's life and publications\u003cbr\u003e Editor's introduction\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Bibliographical note\u003cbr\u003e Translator's note\u003cbr\u003e On the Duty of Man and Citizen According to Natural Law\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: History of ideas [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on History of ideas\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22History%20of%20ideas%20%5BJFCX%5D%22\"\u003eJFCX\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46002181898520,"sku":"9780521359801","price":23.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521359801i_2eae9b00-bf92-4fcd-b9e0-9e9748bef63f.jpg?v=1691375701","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/pufendorf-on-the-duty-of-man-and-citizen-according-to-natural-law-paperback-9780521359801","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
