"Any man must, inasmuch as he can, cultivate and maintain toward others a peaceable sociality that is consistent with the native character and end of humankind in general." -Samuel von Pufendorf, The Two Books on the Duty of Man and Citizen According to the Natural Law (1927) De Officio Hominis Et Civis Juxta Legem Naturalem Libri Duo (Two Volumes in One) (1927), originally published in 1673, is a replica of the 1927 edition and contains both the original Latin text, which is a reproduction of the 1682 edition, and the English translation by Frank Gardner Moore. Volumes I-in Latin-and II-in English-are also available from Cosimo Classics. Samuel von Pufendorf's study of Grotius and Hobbes led him to synthesize their ideas into his own. Recommended by John Locke as a text that should be included in law curricula, this is a must-have for legal scholars and those intrigued by the history of law.
This edition provides an historically sensitive translation of Pufendorf's On the Duty of Man and Citizen (1673).
Rights language is a fundamental feature of the modern world. Virtually all significant social and political struggles are waged, and have been waged for over a century now, in terms of rights claims. In some ways, it is precisely the birth of modern rights language that ushers in modernity in terms of moral and political thought, and the struggle for a modern way of life seems for many synonymous with the fight for a universal recognition of equal, individual human rights. Where did modern rights language come from? What kinds of rights discourses is it rooted in? What is the specific nature of modern rights discourse; when and where were medieval and ancient notions of rights transformed into it? Can one in fact find any single such transformation of medieval into modern rights discourse? The present volume brings together some of the most central scholars in the history of medieval and early-modern rights discourse. Through the different angles taken by its authors, the volume brings to light the multifaceted nature of rights languages in the medieval and early modern world.
