This lecture takes its starting-point in Martti Koskenniemi’s recent book To the Uttermost parts of the Earth. Legal Imagination and International Power 1300-1870”. It will focus on the last chapters of that work by examining, in the German context, the transformations of the idiom of natural law into an early modern political science, national economy, “social art”, philosophy and, eventually, “public international law”. It suggests that far from being over, natural law lives today within many of our inherited political and legal vocabularies.
After the lecture there will be a reception in ‘Pejsestuen’ (7A-0-16) right next to the Flexroom.
