The Law of Nations and Natural Law 1625â1800
Series: - Early Modern Natural Law: Studies & Sources, Volume: 1
Editor:
The Law of Nations and Natural Law 1625-1800 offers innovative studies on the development of the law of nations after the Peace of Westphalia. This period was decisive for the origin and constitution of the discipline which eventually emancipated itself from natural law and became modern international law.
A specialist on the law of nations in the Swiss context and on its major figure, Emer de Vattel, Simone Zurbuchen prompted scholars to explore the law of nations in various European contexts. The volume studies little known literature related to the law of nations as an academic discipline, offers novel interpretations of classics in the field, and deconstructs âmythsâ associated with the law of nations in the Enlightenment.

Simone Zurbuchen, Ph.D. (1991), University of Zurich, is Professor of Modern and Contemporary Philosophy at the University of Lausanne. She has published widely on early modern moral and political philosophy, focusing on Samuel Pufendorf and the Swiss-romande school of natural law.
"This is an extremely valuable work on natural law that actually manages to bring theory and practice together by displaying for the reader how these topics were understood not just by theorists, but by those who engaged in practical politics. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty; professionals." - Michael Harding, Montgomery College, in: Choice Connect, Vol. 57, No. 7 (March 2020).
"The book provides numerous profound insights into a variety of texts and contexts in the European development of natural law and the law of nations and illustrates its importance in creating a shared European language and mental horizon not only for academics, but also for political practitioners and the ruling classes". Gabriella Silvestrini, in Grotiana, 42 (2021), pp. 161-177.
"Der Sammelband wirft verschiedene wichtige Lichter auf Lehrtraditionen des 18. Jahrhunderts, die bisher nicht genügend beleuchtet waren. "
----Mathias Schmoeckel, in: Zeitschrift der Savigny-Stiftung für Rechtsgeschichte: Kanonistische Abteilung 108 (2022): pp 394-395
