Christian Wolff Knihy

Kniha popisuje intelektuální aktivity myslitelů raného německého osvícenství (Leibniz, Wolff, Bilfinger a další) při filosofické recepci kulturních výkonů staré Číny, která probíhala na podkladě jezuitských překladů hlavních děl čínské intelektuální tradice. Tato první systematická reflexe zcela odlišného čínského světa probíhala v historických kontextech, jejichž souvislostmi se tato knížka zabývá. Pozoruhodná je otevřenost vůči mnoha nosným představám čínského myšlení, s níž němečtí osvícenci vyzývali ke kulturní směně s Čínou. Rozpoznali ohromný potenciál Číny a zasazovali se všemi dostupnými prostředky o transkulturní kontakt, aniž by předem zkoumali, kdo bude nebo nebude jeho hegemonem. Vycházeli z předpokladu rovnoprávnosti obou civilizací, jejž dosud nikdo nevyvrátil. Dnes, kdy trpíce syndromem planetárního šíření vzájemné nenávisti odbýváme Čínu nejapnou žurnalistikou, by nám osvícenská rozumová inkluze mohla být příkladem.

Christian Wolff's natural law theory was founded on his rationalist philosophy and metaphysics, which were strongly influenced by the philosophy of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. Like Leibniz, Wolff was convinced that justice and morality were based on universally valid principles of reason and that these principles were accessible to human understanding without the aid of religious revelation. Wolff did not therefore follow the voluntarist tradition of natural law, which was characteristic of Germany's two other famous natural jurists of the early Enlightenment--Samuel Pufendorf and Christian Thomasius. The laws of nature, Wolff argued, were not just because God had willed them; rather, God had willed them because they were just. According to Wolff, this natural law was the foundation of the law of nations. Wolff's work considered central issues such as the duties of nations toward themselves and other nations, the laws of war and peace, and the laws governing the treatment of diplomatic representatives. With the Liberty Fund edition, Wolff's work, heretofore relatively unknown to the English-speaking world, will again become available to scholars and students alike.

Questa opera rappresenta uno dei primi tentativi di applicare i principi del metodo scientifico alla psicologia. Il testo descrive i meccanismi della mente umana e analizza la relazione tra pensiero, emozione e comportamento. Un'opera fondamentale per chiunque sia interessato alla psicologia moderna.

Wolff's magnum opus explores the foundations of natural law and the laws of nations. Drawing on the works of Locke, Grotius, and other thinkers, he develops a comprehensive theory of justice and human rights that is still influential today. This is a must-read for anyone interested in legal philosophy and political theory.
