Karl Ludwig von Haller (1 August 1768 in Bern – 20 May 1854 in Solothurn) was a Swiss jurist. He was the author of Restauration der Staatswissenschaften (Restoration of the Science of the State 1816–1834) a book which Hegel strongly criticized in Elements of the Philosophy of Right. This work which was burnt during the Wartburg festival opposed nationalism and the bureaucracy of extensive government (including democratic governments).
