  Jean Bodin - Wikipedia
Bodin verstand den Staat ganz nach der traditionellen, auf Marcus Tullius Cicero zurückgehenden Definition als Menge von Familien und ihnen gehörenden Gütern, aber er macht eine entscheidende Erweiterung, wenn er dieser Definition hinzufügt, daß das Gemeinwesen durch eine oberste Gewalt und Vernunft gelenkt werde ("summa potestate ac ratione moderata").
Bodin ist schon früh mit Hexenprozessen in Berührung gekommen, wie er selbst in seinem Buch verrät, wenn er anführt, dass er bereits 1549 einem Prozess beigewohnt habe, bei dem sieben Menschen der Zauberei angeklagt worden seien.
Bodin nahm bereits Ideen der Quantitätstheorie vorweg, wie sie später auch von David Hume geäußert wurden.

 [No title]
Bodin starts by defining the commonwealth as 'the rightly ordered government of a number of families and of those things which are their common concern, by a sovereign power'.
Bodin could not go quite so far as Hobbes and define the commonwealth as a number of individuals united solely by their individual subjection to a common power, for he thought of men as naturally sociable, and any association of men as based on mutual amity even more than on justice [III, vii].
Bodin would probably have answered that he is not here classing states according to the particular ends they pursue, but only according to the mode of their operation.

 Jean Bodin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jean Bodin (1530-1596) was a French jurist, member of the Parliament of Paris and professor of Law in Toulouse.
Bodin's ideas in the Six Books on the importance of climate in the shaping of a people's character was also quite influential, finding a prominent place in the work of contemporary Italian thinker Giovanni Botero (1544-1617) and later French philosopher Charles de Secondat, the Baron de Montesquieu (1689-1755).
Bodin recommended torture, even in cases of the disabled and children, to try to confirm guilt of witchcraft.

 Jean Bodin
Jean Bodin (1529/30-1596) was a lawyer, economist, natural philosopher, historian, and one of the major political theorists of the sixteenth century.
Jean Bodin was born near Angers between June 1529 and June 1530 to Guillaume Bodin, a wealthy “master tailor,” and Catherine Dutertre.
Bodin's opinion on this subject is contained in a brief document in which he is less concerned to discuss the causes of the current war than he is to describe the distinguishing characteristics of his faith.

 Jean Bodin
Jean Bodin (or Baudin or Bodinus) was a 16th Century French jurist, natural law philosopher and precursor of Mecantilism.
Bodin's interest in economics was provoked by Malestroict writings, which laid forth the standard argument that the Europe-wide inflation raging at the time was due to debasement of currency and clipping.
In 1571, Bodin entered the service of the king's brother, the Duke of Alençon (later Anjou), and accompanied him to England (it was in the court of Queen Elizabeth I that Bodin was almost made a jester).

 Jean Bodin: Six Books of the Commonwealth: Introduction
Bodin in fact, by the time he came to write the Method was already more interested in forms of government than forms of law.
Kings were first instituted, he told them, for the sake of justice, and this remains the essential attribute of the kingly office, as is shown by the representation of the king on the great seal, seated on his throne in the act of judgement.
Bodin, while agreeing that all jurisdiction derived from the king, did not even include the exercise of jurisdiction among the attributes of sovereignty, much less make it the distinctive mark, since the king exercises this right indirectly, by delegation [IV, vi].

Bodin collects carefully numerous small facts, definite and concrete information; daily experience and the observation of current events are the sources of his almost "scientific" researches concerning the laws of political life.
All the works of Bodin were placed on the Index in 1628; the edition of 1900 continues the prohibition of his "Universae naturae theatrum".

During the last half of the 16th cent., France was experiencing severe disorders caused by religious disagreements between Roman Catholics and Huguenots (see Religion, Wars of).
Dismayed by this chaos, Bodin believed that a restoration of order could only be accomplished by religious toleration and the establishment of a fully sovereign monarch.
His assertion that an absolutely sovereign monarch was necessary for a well-ordered state prefigured Hobbes and was an attack on remnants of feudal society.

But, Bodin did not have to be dragged by the heels to the classroom, he had a naturally enquiring mind and he read everything he could get his hands on.
In addition, Jean Bodin discussed as binding upon states many of those rules that were later woven into the fabric of international law.
Somewhat surprisingly for a man of Jean Bodin's intellect, he wrote a handbook in 1580 acknowledging the existence of magic and sorcery; the book was for judges to use at the trials of people accused of practising witchcraft.

Mit diesem Hintergrund schrieb Bodin seine sechs Bücher über den Staat, mit denen er die katastrophalen politischen Zustände seines Landes heilen wollte.
Bodin will den Staat als Garant der Ordnung und um dies zu verwirklichen muß er seiner Auffassung nach toleranter werden, vor allem hinsichtlich der Religionen.

Jean Bodin, an Angevin by birth, was born in Prague, and studied law that lead to his publishing of the Republique, which has been said to be "the term of the law." However, it was for his Demonomaie des Sorcies that he became famous as an occultist.
He describes the methods of diabolic prophecy and communication, and those of evocation of evil existences of pacts with the Devil, of journeys through the air to sorcerers' Sabbath, of infernal ecstasies, spells by which one may change himself into a werewolf (see Lycanthropy), and of carnal communion with incubi and succubi.
Bodin concluded his study by refuting John Wier, or Wierius, who, he asserts, was in error in believing sorcerers to be fools and people of unsound mind, and states that books of that author should be burnt "for the honor of God."

L’entreprise de Bodin, dans la Methodus, mais aussi dans le Colloquium heptaplomeres,  répond ainsi à un double souci : théorique (présentation méthodique du savoir) et pratique (classification par lieux, rendant l’histoire utilisable).
Bodin est ainsi le dépositaire de l’ensemble de la pensée politique renaissante “ fondée sur l’harmonie des rapports et l’institution d’une proportion idéale ”.
Zarka étudie la portée de la distinction entre Etat et gouvernement à la fois dans l’œuvre de Bodin elle‑même et pour les doctrines de la raison d’Etat (en particulier celles d’Ammirato et de Botero) qui vont bientôt se constituer.

Jean Bodin ist bedeutsam geworden als Autor von Les Six livres de la république (1576), dem ersten staatstheoretischen Buch in französischer Sprache (das er 1586 selbst ins Lateinische übersetzt, damit es auch andere West- und Mitteleuropäer lesen können, denn die Sprache der Wissenschaft ist zu dieser Zeit noch Latein).
Bodin betrachtet als ideale Staatsform eine zentralistische absolute Monarchie, die zugleich religiös tolerant ist und über den religiösen Parteien steht.
Mit seinem erfolgreichen Buch wird Bodin zum Begründer der Bewegung der pragmatisch gesonnenen "Politiker" (politiques), die in den Folgejahren an Einfluss gewinnen und schließlich den Frieden erreichen.

Bodin was primarily responsible for introducing the seductive but erroneous notion that sovereignty is indivisible, that the entire power of the state had to be vested in a single individual or group.
This thesis, combined with the prevailing crisis of authority during the French religious wars, led Bodin to a systematically absolutist interpretation of the French and other European monarchies.

[Page 5] Jean Bodin, jurist and statesman, was not only one of the most eminent European publicists of the sixteenth century, but one of the most rational and tolerant thinkers of his time.
And the country which shall tolerate this will be scourged with pestilences, famines, and wars; and those which shall take vengeance on the witches will be blessed by him and will make his anger to cease.
[1] Bodin then proceeds to enumerate fifteen distinct crimes, all horrid, of which every witch is guilty, and argues that, in default of proof, violent presumption should suffice for the sentence of witches to death.
