Andreas Wagner

Dr. Andreas Wagner is a researcher affiliated with the Academy of Sciences and Literature in Mainz since 2013 and serves as a Coordinator for Digital Humanities at the Max Planck Institute for European Legal History since 2017. His work focuses on phenomenological reconstruction of legal understandings in globalization and the early modern period, particularly through the lens of the School of Salamanca project.

His research spans legal philosophy, political philosophy, and history of international law, with a strong emphasis on digital humanities methodologies for source analysis. Publications highlight collaborations on topics like Alberico Gentili's sovereignty theories, Francisco de Vitoria's contributions, and historical-semantic dictionaries for early modern legal language.

He has co-edited works on controversies about the law and Claude Lefort's political theory, while contributing to interdisciplinary handbooks on globalization and information society. His methodological approach integrates digital lexicography and semantic analysis of normative concepts.
