This impressive volume combines two cross-sections of the history of ideas in international law. On the one hand, it is a collection of essays around specific authors from the early modern and early nineteenth century (19–379), a defining era for state formation in Europe. On the other hand, it is a series of ‘perspectives on the philosophy of international law’ (381–512). The first part of the book is highly useful for early-career researchers or for academic teaching purposes. All texts, written by established scholars, provide an excellent state-of-the-art synthesis on authors read in political theory, philosophy, legal history and theology. The essays are complementary to broader panoramas of legal history classics. Since most authors are approached through the prism of others, the reader will eagerly turn pages to jump from Spinoza (Tilmann Altwicker) to Grotius (Stefan Kadelbach), to Pufendorf (Vanda Fiorillo) or Wolff (Thomas Kleinlein), and back to Vitoria (Kirstin Bunge) or Suarez (Tobias Schaffner). The inclusion of authors such as Macchiavelli (David RothIsigkeit), Smith (Bastian Ronge), Spinoza and Fichte (Carla De Pascale), often left out of the canon of thinkers on the legal fundaments of international order, is inspiring to the reader, irrespective of his or her background. The second part is of a different, more pamphletary nature, either advancing specific hypotheses on further research, or participating in the general debate on the nature of international legal history. A good example is Martti Koskenniemi’s powerful essay ‘What should international legal history become?’ (381–98), pleading for a legal history of power, expressed in both political and economic aspects, across the public-private divide. The editors aim for a contribution to the ‘philosophical re-appreciation’ of the ‘history of international legal thought’ (1). International legal thought is presented as ‘related to a normativity that is neither purely contextual in a narrow sense nor claims to be timeless or universal’ (4). For the purpose of this review, only a selection of papers will be highlighted.

制度、秩序与国际法：从马基雅维利到黑格尔的国际法律思想的早期历史

这本令人印象深刻的卷结合了国际法思想史的两个横截面。一方面，它是围绕现代早期和 19 世纪早期（19-379 年）特定作者的论文集，这是欧洲国家形成的决定性时代。另一方面，它是一系列“国际法哲学观点”（381-512）。本书的第一部分对处于职业生涯早期的研究人员或学术教学目的非常有用。所有文本均由知名学者撰写，对在政治理论、哲学、法律史和神学方面阅读的作者进行了最先进的综合。这些论文是对法律历史经典的更广泛全景的补充。由于大多数作者是通过其他人的棱镜接近的，读者会迫不及待地翻页，从斯宾诺莎（蒂尔曼·阿尔特维克）跳到格劳秀斯（斯特凡·卡德尔巴赫），再到普芬多夫（万达·菲奥里洛）或沃尔夫（托马斯·克莱因），再到维多利亚（克尔斯汀·邦吉）或苏亚雷斯（托比亚斯·沙夫纳）。马基雅维利 (David RothIsigkeit)、史密斯 (Bastian Ronge)、斯宾诺莎 (Spinoza) 和费希特 (Carla De Pascale) 等作者经常被排除在国际秩序法律基础思想家的经典之外，这对读者来说是鼓舞人心的，无论如何他或她的背景。第二部分具有不同的、更具手册性质的性质，要么提出进一步研究的具体假设，要么参与关于国际法律史性质的一般性辩论。一个很好的例子是马尔蒂·科斯肯涅米 (Martti Koskenniemi) 的有力文章“国际法律史应该变成什么样？” (381–98), 恳求跨越公私鸿沟的政治和经济方面的法律历史。编辑的目标是对“国际法律思想史”(1) 的“哲学再鉴赏”做出贡献。国际法律思想被表述为“与既不是狭义上的纯粹语境，也不是声称是永恒或普遍的规范性有关”（4）。出于本次审查的目的，将仅突出显示部分论文。国际法律思想被表述为“与既不是狭义上的纯粹语境，也不是声称是永恒或普遍的规范性有关”（4）。出于本次审查的目的，将仅突出显示部分论文。国际法律思想被表述为“与既不是狭义上的纯粹语境，也不是声称是永恒或普遍的规范性有关”（4）。出于本次审查的目的，将仅突出显示部分论文。
