Anton Friedrich Justus Thibaut (1772-1840)
Anton Friedrich Justus Thibaut war in der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts einer der führenden Rechtswissenschaftler Deutschlands und als begnadeter akademischer Lehrer die prägende Persönlichkeit der Heidelberger Juristischen Fakultät. Er bewahrte eine eigenständige Position gegenüber der dominierenden Historischen Schule Gustav Hugos und Friedrich Carl von Savignys. Deren kodifikationsfeindliche Haltung und Ausrichtung auf das antike römische Recht blieben dem auch der juristischen Praxis und dem späten Vernunftrecht verbundenen Thibaut fremd.

Music and Aesthetics in the Eighteenth and Early Nineteenth Centuries
This is an abridged, paperback edition of Peter le Huray and James Day's invaluable anthology of writings concerned with the role of music in eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century aesthetics. This volume retains all the most important and significant items from the original hardcover edition. Over fifty writers are represented here, including such major figures as Rousseau, Kant, Schlegel, Schopenhauer and Hegel, and the useful introductions and biographical details of the original are also retained. The aesthetic literature of the period is profuse but this carefully edited volume offers a balanced selection which illuminates the ways people experienced music and how they came to an understanding in particular of the new music of their day.
Hegel
One of the founders of modern philosophical thought Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831) has gained the reputation of being one of the most abstruse and impenetrable of thinkers. This major biography of Hegel offers not only a complete account of the life, but also a perspicuous overview of the key philosophical concepts in Hegel's work in a style that will be accessible to professionals and non-professionals alike. Terry Pinkard situates Hegel firmly in the historical context of his times. The story of that life is of an ambitious, powerful thinker living in a period of great tumult dominated by the figure of Napoleon. The Hegel who emerges from this account is a complex, fascinating figure of European modernity, who offers us a still compelling examination of that new world born out of the political, industrial, social, and scientific revolutions of his period.

Nineteenth-century Choral Music
Nineteenth-Century Choral Music is a collection of essays studying choral music making as a cultural phenomenon, one that had an impact on multiple parts of society. Rather than merely offering a collection of raw descriptions of works, the contributors focus their discussions on what these pieces reveal about their composers as craftsmen/women. Major works as well as other equally rich parts of the repertoire are discussed, including smaller choral works and contributions by composers such as Fanny Mendelssohn, Amy Beach, Charles Stanford,
