Naturrecht in Antike und früher Neuzeit

This edited volume combines the articles from a symposium held in Constance in honor of Klaus Luig's 75th birthday. Klaus Luig contributed to research on the era of natural law or the law of reason in the early modern period as few others have done. Each of the articles from the conference reflects these research interests in its own way and represents the current discussions. They transcend the era of the law of reason by tracing the problems of natural law back to antiquity and up to the 19th century. In their content, they also cover the implementation of the concept of codification which was influenced considerably by natural law thinking in the 18th century.
