‎The uncommon first edition, rarely found complete, of Voss’ work extensive work on governmental studies. Voss “most important and at the same time most comprehensive work is his textbook on governmental studies in four volumes, which were published between 1797 and 1800. Perhaps not surprising, given his long friendship with August Ludwig Schlözer, he explicitly followed the latter’s ‘Grundriss’, presenting a complete System of Governmental Studies for the period around 1800. It was deeply influenced by Kant, as is especially clear in his critical discussion of the enlightened absolutism in political science characteristic of the eighteenth century. Voss follows Kant’s emphasis on man as an end in itself. Thus he places the individual and his right at the center of his account. Though Voss advocated a monarchic and aristocratic system, he emphasized human rights as the primary concern of the state. In this he dissociated himself from the ancient régime” (The Bloomsbury Dictionary of Eighteenth-century German Philosophers, p. 822) Christian Daniel Voss (1761 – 1821) started his teaching career as a private tutor in Brunswick. In 1788 he joined the regular teaching staff at the Pädagogium in Halle. By 1795, he was appointed as a counsellor for Weimar-Saxony. In 1799 he became an associate professor at the Prussian University of Halle, and in 1808, he advanced to the position of professor of civil law and cameralistic sciences.
