Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GAG-GEO
GANS, EDUARD (1797-1839) , German jurist, was born at Berlin on the 22nd of March 1797, of prosperous Jewish parents. He studied law first at Berlin, then at Gottingen, and finally at
Heidelberg
 , where he attended
Hegel
 's lectures, and became thoroughly imbued with the principles of the Hegelian philosophy. In 1820, after taking his
doctor
 's degree, he returned to Berlin as lecturer on law. In 1825 he turned Christian, and the following year was appointed extraordinary, and in 1828
ordinary
 , professor in the Berlin faculty of law. At this period the historical school of jurisprudence was coming to the front, and Gans, predisposed owing to his Hegelian tendencies to treat law historically, applied the method to one
special
  branchthe right of succession. His
great
 
work
 , Erbrecht in weltgeschichtlicher Entwickla '.g (1824, 1825, 1829 and 1835), is of permanent value, not mu.- for its extensive survey of facts, but for the admirable manner in which the general theory of the slow evolution of legal principles is presented. In 1830, and again in 1835, Gans visited Paris, and formed an intimate acquaintance with the leaders of literary culture and criticism there. The liberality of his views, especially on political matters, drew upon Gans the displeasure of the Prussian government, and his course of lectures on the history of the last fifty years (published as Vorlesungen fiber d. Geschichte d. letzten fiinfzig Jahre,
Leipzig
 , 18331834) was prohibited. He died at Berlin on the 5th of May 1839. In addition to the works above mentioned, there may be noted the treatise on the fundamental
laws
  of property (Uber die Grundlage des Besitzes, Berlin, 1829), a portion of a systematic
work
  on the Roman civil. law (System des romischen Civil-Rechts, 1827), and a collection of his miscellaneous writings (Vermischte Schriften, 1832). Gans editedthe Philosophie der Geschichle in
Hegel
 's Werke, and contributed an admirable preface.
See Revue des deux mondes (Dec. 1839).
