14. Ernst Troeltsch,
The Social Teaching of the Christian Church
, tr. O. Wyon, 2 vols. (London: Allen & Unwin, 1931; reprint 1950). After World War I, Troeltsch came to believe that natural law, both as a law common to humanity and as an assertion of the fundamental human rights, was the distinguishing mark of political thought in Western Europe. He proposed that the German world broke away from that belief in the age of romanticism, perhaps earlier, with the consequence that force became glorified over reason and the state over the individual as the embodiment of moral life. See "The Ideas of Natural Law and Humanity in Western Politics, " 1922 (Appendix 1 in Otto Friedrich von Gierke,
Natural Law and the Theory of Society, 1500, with a Lecture on the Ideas of Natural Law and Humanity by Ernst Troeltsch
, translated with an introduction by Ernest Barker (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1934).
