Christian Thomasius (January 1, 1655–September 23, 1728), was a German jurist and philosopher.
Through his father's lectures, Christian came under the influence of the political philosophy of Hugo Grotius and Samuel Pufendorf, and continued the study of law at Frankfurt (Oder).
Thomasius is often spoken of in German works as the author of the "territorial system," or Erastian theory of ecclesiastical government; but he taught that the state may interfere with legal or public duties only, and not with moral or private ones.

Mit Thomasius' Unterstützung konnte der, von den Altlutheranern angefeindete Pietist August Hermann Francke, der Halle ein bedeutendes Stiftungswerk hinterließ, in der Stadt Fuß fassen.
Später entfernte sich Thomasius allerdings wieder von der pietistischen Frömmigkeitsbewegung, deren feindliche Einstellung gegenüber weltlichen Freuden er ablehnte.
Drittens heißt es bei Thomasius für das Gerechte, das Iustum: "Was du dir nicht wilt gethan wissen/das thue du andern auch nicht." Hier nahm er bereits die Trennung von Moral und Recht vorweg.

 18th Century German Philosophy Prior to Kant
It may seem surprising, therefore, that Christian Thomasius was able to issue the call to the enlightenment at the end of the seventeenth century, though not at all surprising that both Thomasius and Wolff were subject to arbitrary political power.
The son of jurist and philosopher Jakob Thomasius, Christian received his education at the University of Leipzig and his law degree at the University of Frankfurt an der Oder (in Eastern Germany) in 1679.
While Thomasius had endorsed Francke's practical activism (he was the founder of the Halle orphanage), he broke with Francke by 1699, criticising his educational policies for producing “uneducated, melancholy, fantastic, obstinate, recalcitrant, and spiteful men” (cited in Beck, 253).

 2001 VOLUME 30 NUMBER 1
For educational historians, Thomasius is of interest for the extraordinary historical self-consciousness displayed in his attack on Protestant scholasticism and the discipline of metaphysics in particular.
The immediate objective of Thomasius’ campaign to undo the metaphysical unity of the scholastic curriculum – thereby allowing the ‘civil sciences’ to be studied autonomously or in an ‘eclectic’ manner – was to create a curriculum suited to the formation of jurists and statesmen.
Thomasius’ campaign against metaphysical scholasticism was driven by his account of its malign effects as a comportment education, just as his own positive reforms were driven by his desire to create pedagogy suited to the comportment of those charged with governing the desacralised state.

Grotius wrote a book defending Christianity, called De veritate religionis Christianae (published 1632), which was translated from Latin into English, Arabic, Persian and Chinese by Edward Pococke for use in missionary work in the East and remained in print until the end of the Nineteenth century.
What also distinguished this work in the history of Christian apologetics is its precusor role in anticipating the problems expressed in Eighteenth century Deism, and that Grotius represents the first of the practitioners of legal or juridical apologetics in the defence of Christian belief.
Martin Luther (November 10, 1483–February 18, 1546) was a German theologian, an Augustinian monk, and an ecclesiastical reformer whose teachings inspired the Reformation and deeply influenced the doctrines and culture of the Lutheran and Protestant traditions.

Thomasius is now known mainly for his "enlightened" intellectual reform program, but Thomasius also believed that such reform necessarily involved a regeneration of Christian faith, which had been corrupted by self-interested clergymen and ecclesiastical institutions.
This book is the first to examine the importance of Thomasius's complex religious beliefs for the entire spectrum of his main intellectual interests, which ranged from moral philosophy and law to history and the explanation of natural phenomena.
Ahnert rejects the common idea that Christian Thomasius's exceptional theology was an aberrant anti-Enlightenment lapse and argues that it was intimately connected with both his natural law theory and his (hitherto neglected) natural philosophy.
