Körmöczi János és a göttingeni történet- és államtudományok
János Körmöczi and the Historical and Political Studies of Göttingen

Summary/Abstract: This paper investigates the impact historical and political studies of Göttingen could have had on János Körmöczi. He must have been predominantly infl uenced by Ludwig Timotheus Spittler (1752–1810) and August Ludwig Schlözer (1735–1809). While the former was a representative of Voltairean historiography, the latter regarded political studies and the conjugate historical disciplines as parts of the same system. Systematic descriptions aim at demonstrating the evolution of states, and at exploring the relationship between the state and social forms. Körmöczi never wrote his own summary about these theories, however his university notes, translations and adaptations might underpin his reception of the Göttingen paradigm.
