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. Thibauts politisch ohnehin chancenlose Forderung nach einer deutschen Kodifikation des Bürgerlichen Rechts wies von Savigny scharf zurü...
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.

On Purity in Musical Art
Excerpt from On Purity in Musical Art The fact that this Essay was first published more than half a century ago, might seem, at first sight, to render its translation now a work of doubtful utility. But, inasmuch as it is still in demand in Germany, as is proved by the publication of the Fifth Edition as recently as in 1875, and looking to the great extension of the study and practice of music in our own country, I am persuaded that it will be read both with interest and with profit in England. Anton Friedrich Justus Thibaut was first Professor of Jurisprudence at Heidelberg, and author of several important treatises on Roman and modern law, published between 1797 and 1818.

German Political Philosophy
This book combines philosophical, intellectual-historical and political-theoretical methodologies to provide a new synoptic reading of the history of German political philosophy. Incorporating chapters on the political ideas of Luther and Zwingli, on the politics of the early Enlightenment, on Idealism, on Historicism and Lukács, on early Twentieth-Century political theology, on the Frankfurt School, and on Habermas and Luhmann, the book sets out both a broad and a detailed discussion of German political reflection from the Reformation to the present. In doing so, it explains how the development of German political philosophy is marked by a continual concern with certain unresolved and recurrent problems. It claims that all the major positions address questions relating to the origin of law, that all seek to account for the relation between legal validity and metaphysical and theological superstructures, and that all are centred on the attempt to conceptualise and reconstruct the character of the legal subject.
