The essays selected here for translation derive largely from
Thomasiuss work on Staatskirchenrecht, or the political
jurisprudence of church law. These works, originating as
disputations, theses, and pamphlets, were direct interventions in
the unresolved issue of the political role of religion in
Brandenburg-Prussia, a state in which a Calvinist dynasty ruled
over a largely Lutheran population and nobility as well as a
significant Catholic minority. In mandating limited religious
toleration within the German states, the provisions of the Peace of
Westphalia (1648) also provided the rulers of Brandenburg-Prussia
with a way of keeping the powerful Lutheran church in check by
guaranteeing a degree of religious freedom to non-Lutherans and
thereby detaching the state from the most powerful territorial
church. Thomasiuss writings on church-state relations, many of them
critical of the civil claims made by Lutheran theologians, are a
direct response to this state of affairs. At the same time, owing
to the depth of intellectual resources at his disposal, these works
constitute a major contribution to the broader discussion of the
relation between the religious and political spheres.
Christian Thomasius's natural jurisprudence is essential to
understanding the origins of the Enlightenment in Germany, where
his importance was comparable to that of John Locke's in
England.First published in 1688, Thomasius's "Institutionum
jurisprudentiae divinae" ("Institutes of Divine Jurisprudence")
attempted to draw a clear distinction between natural and revealed
law and to emphasize that human reason was able to know the
precepts of natural law without the aid of Scripture. Thomasius
also argued that his orthodox Lutheran opponents had failed to
understand this distinction and thereby had confused reason and
Scripture.In addition to the "Institutes of Divine Jurisprudence, "
this volume contains significant selections from his "Fundamenta
juris naturae et gentium" ("Foundations of the Law of Nature and
Nations"), published in 1705. In "Foundations" Thomasius
significantly revised the theory he had put forward in the
"Institutes, " and much of the "Foundations" therefore is a
paragraph-by-paragraph commentary on his earlier ideas.These works
are a companion to Thomasius's "Essays on Church, State, and
Politics, " and together they provide the first-ever English
presentation of this preeminent German thinker.Christian Thomasius
(1655-1728) was a German philosopher and legal theorist. He was a
cofounder of the University of Halle, where he was also a
professor.Thomas Ahnert is a Senior Lecturer in History at the
University of Edinburgh.Knud Haakonssen is Professor of
Intellectual History at the University of Sussex, England.
