BOOK: Joachim RUCKERT, Idealismus, Jurisprudenz und Politik bei Friedrich Carl von Savigny (Frankfurt am Main: Klostermann, 2022), ISBN: 9783465043669
ABOUT THE BOOK
Originally published in 1984, this habilitation thesis (LMU) was quickly sold out and became difficult to find on the second-hand market. The original announcement consisted of just one sentence: ‘Based on old and newer materials, Savigny’s position within the idealistic context of his time as well as the impact on his specific understanding of jurisprudence and politics are meticulously explored and significant new findings presented.’ The reviews confirmed this succinct assessment – which still holds true today. Supplementing this unaltered reprint are ‘traces of life’ (Lebensspuren), that is, a complete chronicle containing information on his scholarly works and activities, salient sources and references as well as amendments and additions to the sources. Moreover, the indexes have been updated and expanded.

Abstract:
The idea of the Volksgeist (national spirit) was an integral part of the theory of legal sources in the early 19th century, primarily associated with Friedrich Carl von Savigny. However, the idea of a creative Volksgeist is not only to be found in Savigny's works. Throughout his life, the avowed Savigny disciple Jacob Grimm was preoccupied with the question of the "origin", be it of language, of culture, but also of law. The idea of a genuine national spirit was an integral part of his scientific conception early on and had a decisive influence on his entire work. At the same time, Grimm's concept of Volksgeist was a very individual one, differing significantly from the concepts of his models and contemporaries and influencing legal German studies well into the 20th century.
