Bluntschli, Johann Kaspar
Born 1808; died 1881. Swiss jurist. Specialist on state and international law as well as the history of law. Bluntschli was a representative of the organic school of law. His major work is Modern International Law of Civilized Nations (1868; Russian translation, 1876).
It seems however to have been Gorres who gave the Swiss-born sociologist Johann Kaspar Bluntschli the idea of making the body-state analogy a key feature of his account of the modern state.
