Henning Arnisaeus

Henning Arnisaeus (Arniseus) (1570–1636) was a German physician and moral philosopher.[1] He is now known for his writings on political theory.

Life edit

He was born in Schlanstedt, a village in the present-day Harz district of Germany, near Huy.[2] He studied philosophy and medicine at the Protestant University of Helmstedt from 1589.[3] After travels in England and France, he became court physician to Christian IV of Denmark.[1]

Views edit

At Helmstedt, Arnisaeus became a pupil of Cornelius Martini, a Lutheran metaphysician who also influenced Hermann Conring.[4][5] He used an Aristotelian analysis to distinguish in political thought between the civitas and the res publica, in a critique of Jean Bodin, Johannes Althusius, Busius (Paulus Buis or Buys, died 1617), and Bartholomäus Keckermann.[6] He particularly criticized Bodin's strictures on mixed government in his 1606 Doctrina politica.[7] That work also incorporated Tacitean ideas, under the influence of Arnold Clapmar, within the Aristotelian and humanist framework he proposed, attacking the Ramist critics of Aristotle.[8]

While Arnisaeus saw a role for civil society, he did not admit any qualification of the power of the 'magistrate'. In 1610 in De jure majestatis he took Bodin's part against the mixed state; even so, in relation to Holy Roman Empire and its institutions he admitted that sovereignty could in practical terms be distributed among several authorities.[9] He is therefore classed as an 'absolutist', a supporter of absolute monarchy.[10] Theoretically, in the case of the Empire, he argued that sovereignty lay with the Prince-electors.[11] This was very much a minority view among Germans, opposed by Althusius and Keckermann, as well as Hermann Kirchner, Daniel Otto, and Tobias Paurmeister, all of whom took the view that the Emperor was a true monarch.[12]

Against Althusius, he argued that (true) monarchy could be compromised by concessions of power that distorted the 'form' of the state, and that this was a more accurate description of the actual French state.[13]

Arnisaeus died in Copenhagen.

His ideas were influential in the setting up of Danish absolutism.[14]
