Books by Samuel Pufendorf

On the Duty of Man and Citizen (1673) is Pufendorf's succinct and condensed presentation of the natural law political theory. James Tully's introduction sets the text in its context, discusses the main arguments and points out their long term relevance.

This work presents the basic arguments and fundamental themes of the political and moral thought of the 17th-century philosopher, Samuel Pufendorf - one of the most widely read natural lawyers of the pre-Kantian era. Selections from the texts of Pufendorf's two major works have been included.
