More about the book
Heineccius's natural law theory represents a distinct evolution between earlier thinkers like Pufendorf and later theorists such as Wolff. Unlike Pufendorf, who linked natural law to human nature, Heineccius based it solely on the divine will. The 1737 publication of his Methodical System, translated by George Turnbull in 1742, marked a significant contribution to natural law discourse. Turnbull, an influential figure in the Scottish Enlightenment, provided extensive commentaries and an independent Discourse, enriching the philosophical landscape of moral thought.
