See also:GANS, EDUARD (1797-1839) , See also:German jurist, was See also:born at See also:Berlin on the 22nd of See also:March 1797, of prosperous Jewish parents. He studied See also:law first at Berlin, then at See also:Gottingen, and finally at See also:Heidelberg, where he attended See also:Hegel's lectures, and became thoroughly imbued with the principles of the Hegelian See also:philosophy. In 1820, after taking his See also:doctor's degree, he returned to Berlin as lecturer on law. In 1825 he turned See also:Christian, and the following See also:year was appointed extraordinary, and in 1828 See also:ordinary, See also:professor in the Berlin See also:faculty of law. At this See also:period the See also:historical school of See also:jurisprudence was coming to the front, and Gans, predisposed owing to his Hegelian tendencies to treat law historically, applied the method to one See also:special branch—the right of See also:succession. His See also:great See also:work, Erbrecht in weltgeschichtlicher Entwickla '.g (1824, 1825, 1829 and 1835), is of permanent value, not mu.- for its extensive survey of facts, but for the admirable manner in which the See also:general theory of the slow See also:evolution of legal principles is presented. In 1830, and again in 1835, Gans visited See also:Paris, and formed an intimate acquaintance with the leaders of See also:literary culture and See also:criticism there. The liberality of his views, especially on See also:political matters, See also:drew upon Gans the displeasure of the Prussian See also:government, and his course of lectures on the See also:history of the last fifty years (published as Vorlesungen fiber d. Geschichte d. letzten fiinfzig Jahre, See also:Leipzig, 1833–1834) was prohibited. He died at Berlin on the 5th of May 1839. In addition to the See also:works above mentioned, there may be noted the See also:treatise on the fundamental See also:laws of See also:property (Uber See also:die Grundlage See also:des Besitzes, Berlin, 1829), a portion of a systematic work on the See also:Roman See also:civil. law (See also:System des romischen Civil-Rechts, 1827), and a collection of his See also:miscellaneous writings (Vermischte Schriften, 1832). Gans editedthe Philosophie der Geschichle in Hegel's Werke, and contributed an admirable See also:preface.
