Samuel Pufendorf’s Of the Nature and Qualification of Religion (published in Latin in 1687) is a major work on the separation of politics and religion. Written in response to the revocation of the Edict of Nantes by the French king Louis XIV, Pufendorf contests the right of the sovereign to control the religion of his subjects, because state and religion pursue wholly different ends. He concludes that, when rulers transgress their bounds, subjects have a right to defend their religion, even by...

Historical Law-Tracts is one of the earliest contributions to the Scottish Enlightenment project of a historical science of society. Henry Home, Lord Kames (1696–1782), was an influential Scottish juEAe, a prolific man of letters, and one of the leading figures of the Enlightenment in Scotland, and his goal in this work is to show the study of law as a genuinely scientific inquiry and not a mere collection of facts for the lawyer to memorize. He deployed a large range of ancient, medieval, and...

They sought to relocate religion within a context of reason and science and to establish a tolerant and humane ethic upon values rooted in classical ideals.In a distinctive voice, Turnbull presented natural-law theory “scientifically,” harnessed the arts to promote moral and civil virtue, and extolled reason as the foundation of liberty. The...

An Elegant and Learned Discourse of the Light of Nature is a concerted effort at intellectual mediation in the deep religious dispute of the English civil war in the seventeenth century. On one side was the antinomian assertion of extreme Calvinists that the elect were redeemed by God’s free grace and thereby free from ordinary moral obligations. Opposite to that was the Arminian rejection of predestination and assertion that Christ died for all, not just for the elect.Robert A. Greene is...

Vindiciae Gallicae was James Mackintosh’s first major publication, a contribution to the debate begun by Edmund Burke’s Reflections on the Revolution in France. The success of Mackintosh’s defense of the French Revolution propelled him into the heart of London Whig circles. Following the September 1792 massacres Mackintosh, along with other moderate Whigs, revised his opinions and moved closer to Burke’s position. The Liberty Fund edition also includes Mackintosh’s Discourse on the Law of Nature...

Henry Home, Lord Kames, was the complete “Enlightenment man,” concerned with the full spectrum of human knowleEAe and its social use.

In his jurisprudence, Kames...

"Nicolás lleva más tiempo muerto que vivo, pero esa proporción se invierte en mis escritos, donde regresa una y otra vez, sin cesar, porque lxs muertxs también se resisten a quedarse quietxs, fijxs, muerto[s] de una vez por todas, como diría Derrida, y cobran vida en los umbrales porosos de nuestras existencias, de nuestras des-memorias y de nuestras palabras". Las notas reunidas en Dar (el) duelo hacen propia la premisa de Derrida para narrar la vida de lxs muertxs, y más puntualmente, la...

Desde el amanecer de Homo hasta su crepúsculo en el presente y avizorando el lejano futuro, la Historia Universal siempre ha estado y seguirá marcada por los asaltos de los Titanes sobre el mundo. En nuestra época ha tenido lugar, sin embargo, un duelo decisivo que ha entronado la cosmovisión de los Póstumos en la cúspide del Nuevo Orden Mundial. En consecuencia, en este volumen del políptico de La comunidad de los espectros, se aborda el núcleo sobre el que gravita la filosofía primera y, por...

Esta obra ofrece una reconstrucción racional, ajustada a las categorías de Imre Lakatos, del programa de investigación que fija una pirámide geométrica con el objetivo de dar cuenta de la percepción visual. El estudio muestra cómo se adelantaron maniobras propias del cinturón protector para conservar viva la posibilidad de usar la pirámide como artefacto de la investigación. Se muestra que la defensa de las posibilidades de uso del instrumento permite agrupar diversos enfoques teóricos que...

Wenn alles, was ist, Gott ist – wie kommt dann das Böse in die Welt? Und wie lässt sich menschliche Freiheit erklären? In seiner wohl bis heute einflussreichsten Schrift versucht Schelling, diese Fragen zu beantworten, indem er in Gottes «Urgrund» – der Grund, der seiner Existenz vorausgeht und dennoch zugleich Gott ist – auch eine zweite, dunkle Seite sieht. Die Freiheit des Menschen, sich für das Gute zu entscheiden, ist bereits in Gott selbst und der gesamten, sich in unaufhörlichem Werden...

At first glance, Theodor W. Adorno’s critical social theory and Gershom Scholem’s scholarship of Jewish mysticism could not seem farther removed from one another. To begin with, they also harbored a mutual hostility. But their first conversations in 1938 New York were the impetus for a profound intellectual friendship that lasted thirty years and produced more than 220 letters. These letters discuss the broadest range of topics in philosophy, religion, history, politics, literature, and the arts...
