For over twenty years, Kant used this book as the basis for his lectures on natural law. It has influenced his legal and political philosophy, as well as his ethics, and is indispensable for understanding Kant's \u003ci\u003eFeyerabend Lectures on Natural Law \u003c\/i\u003eand his \u003ci\u003eMetaphysics of Morals\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAchenwall's \u003ci\u003eIus naturae\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on the fundamental principles of legal and political philosophy. It first discusses the natural rights and obligations pertaining to the relations of humans independently of their membership in particular communities, and then discusses those pertaining to the family, the state, and international relations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eArticulating his theory with clear definitions, precise distinctions, and instructive comparisons with the work of Grotius, Hobbes, Pufendorf, Wolff, and others, Achenwall offers a lucid account that fits squarely in the natural law tradition. His handbook is of interest to scholars of natural law, social contract theory, and the history of political theory more generally. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This is a complete English translation of both volumes of the 1763 edition. The volume also includes an Introduction by eminent Kant scholar Paul Guyer, comparing Achenwall's theory to the legal and political philosophy of Kant's \u003ci\u003eDoctrine of Right\u003c\/i\u003e. Moreover, the volume features a concordance correlating the \u003ci\u003eIus naturae \u003c\/i\u003eto Kant's \u003ci\u003eFeyerabend Lectures on Natural Law\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gottfried Achenwall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/20\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Kant's Sources in Translation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.3lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350022843","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43881536585865,"sku":"9781350022843","price":230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_9aee4700-b1f2-46d3-ba8d-d7f9954bba2c.jpg?v=1744697370","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/natural-law-a-translation-of-the-textbook-for-kants-lectures-on-legal-and-political-philosophy-9781350022843","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
