Den danske fysiker, kemiker og farmaceut Hans Christian Ørsted (1777-1851) er en af Danmarks største videnskabsmænd og opfindere nogensinde. Hans naturfilosofiske tanker har haft en enorm påvirkning på guldalderens digtning og livssyn, og hans opdagelser er bredt anerkendte over hele verden. Ole Bang tegner et portræt af den store videnskabsmand og hans tanker om forskning, naturen, samfundet og forholdet mellem teori og praksis samt videnskab og filosofi. Bogen bugner af citater fra H.C. Ørsteds brevveksling med kulturpersonligheder som Grundtvig, Oehlenschläger og H.C. Andersen samt citater fra hans skrifter og taler.

Part I is devoted to Niels Bohr's mission to promote an "open world" between nations, that is, full sharing of information in the scientific and technical, as well as in the cultural spheres the scientific and technical, as well as in the cultural spheres.

This book presents a comprehensive history of law and religion in the Nordic context. The entwinement of law and religion in Scandinavia encompasses an unusual history, not widely known yet important for its impact on contemporary political and international relations in the region. The volume provides a holistic picture from the first written legal sources of the twelfth century to the law of the present secular welfare states. It recounts this history through biographical case studies. Taking the point of view of major influential figures in church, politics, university, and law, it thus presents the principal actors who served as catalysts in ecclesiastical and secular law through the centuries. This refreshing approach to legal history contributes to a new trend in historiography, particularly articulated by a younger generation of experienced Nordic scholars whose work is featured prominently in this volume. The collection will be a valuable resource for academics and researchers working in the areas of Legal History and Law and Religion.
