Publisher's Synopsis
This, the second volume dealing with legal science, treats the concept of the "encyclopedia" in general, and then analyzes the "encyclopedia of legal science" in particular, from the post-Glossatorist Durantis and thinkers such as Donellus, Ramus, Bodin, Althusius and Kant up to more recent polemicists and natural law traditions. This volume provides an exploration of legal and political theories from ancient Greece to the 20th century.
