Johann Jakob Bachofen
(redirected from Bachofen)

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Bachofen, Johann Jakob 

Born Dec. 22, 1815, in Basel; died there on Nov. 25, 1887. Swiss legal historian.

Bachofen laid the foundations for the study of the history of the family. In his work Matriarchal Law (1861) and others he put forth the thesis of the universal historical development of primitive mankind from an original promiscuity (“heterism”) to matriarchal and later to patriarchal law. Bachofen erroneously viewed the evolution of religious ideas as the basis of this development. After criticizing and rejecting Bachofen’s idealistic ideas, K. Marx and F. Engels made use of his work in creating a materialistic conception of primitive history.

However, indirect evidence for surface tensions far below the equilibrium value of approximately 25 mN/m in the central airways of rabbits has recently been obtained by Bachofen and Schurch (2001), who demonstrated that the shape of bronchiolar macrophages beneath the surfactant film in the surface-lining layer depends on the local surface tension.
