Abstract

Grace Dalrymple Elliott (1754-1823) wist op wonderbaarlijke wijze aan de guillotine te ontsnappen. Als maîtresse van Louis- Philippe d’Orléans, intrigant en neef van de onthoofde Fransekoning Lodewijk XVI, maakte ze de Franse Revolutie van nabij mee. Ze kwam oog in oog te staan met Robespierre en Lafayette, reisde tijdens de Brabantse Omwenteling naar de Zuidelijke Nederlanden, was bevriend met Marie-Antoinette en deelde de cel met Joséphine de Beauharnais, de latere Madame Bonaparte. Op vraag van de Engelse koning George III schreef ze haar memoires. Geroemd om haar schoonheid en geestige conversatie financierde Grace Elliott haar riante levensstijl door haar tijd en haar lichaam aan de hoogste bieder te verhuren. Als minnares van d’Orléans was ze meer dan een bevoorrechte getuige van het gekonkel aan het koninklijk hof en van de intriges in revolutionaire kringen. Ze was de spil van een netwerk dat terdoodveroordeelde aristocraten naar het buitenland hielp ontsnappen. Terloops spioneerde ze voor de Britten. Weldra zal ik onder de guillotine liggen is de eerste Nederlandse vertaling van dit unieke ooggetuigenverslag van de Franse Revolutie en de Terreur.

Abstract

Contract Before the Enlightenment represents a fresh investigation of what was then a ground-breaking approach to the law of contract written by James Dalrymple, Viscount Stair (1619-1695), lauded by some as the founding father of Scots law.As a judge and public figure, Stair was at the forefront of both political and legal developments in Scotland from the 1640s until he died in 1695. This study explores the development and reception of his ideas relating to the law of contract on the eve of the Scottish Enlightenment. It is here that Stair's legal legacy is most evident, and where the imprint of Calvinism, Aristotelianism, and Protestant natural law can be found within Scottish legal thought.In his legal treatise, the Institutions of Law of Scotland you find a sophisticated, innovative, and novel synthesis of Roman law with Stair's own Calvinist variant of a Protestant natural law theory. Yet it is also possible to find, once the theistic premises of Stair's natural law theory are dropped, the beginnings of a form of Scottish moral philosophy that rose to prominence in the eighteenth century.Undoubtedly, Stair is not only a key figure within Scottish legal history but also significant to how we understand the transition of Scottish intellectual life from the execution of Charles I to the emergence of the Scottish Enlightenment.

Abstract

This study explains the development and reception of Viscount Stair’s innovative contractual ideas. By considering his philosophical and theological impulses this examination sheds new light upon what shaped his legal thought and shows the imprint of Aristotelianism, Grotius, and Calvin upon legal thought in Scotland. It explains how Stair broke new ground within the Roman law tradition by assimilating it with Protestant natural law. Importantly, this investigation demonstrates how Stair’s Calvinist alteration of Grotius’ natural law theory resulted in a unique viewpoint in comparison to his contemporaries: bare agreements and promises are binding; the human will is the central trigger for creation of contractual obligations; man has a God-given freedom by which to create contractual obligations that he should use to bring glory to God; and that the rules of contract should be informed by the needs of commerce as much as equity. It concludes by arguing that once the Calvinist theistic premises of Stair’s contractual thought are dropped his approach bears the hallmarks of the natural law jurisprudence adopted by many of the leading moral philosophers of eighteenth-century Scotland.--

Abstract

Dr. Theodore Dalrymple heeft al meerdere politiek-correcte stellingen naar het rijk der fabelen verwezen. In Vlaanderen is Bart De Wever ook bekend om zich niet neer te leggen bij een pensée unique.Daarom heerst in sommige Vlaamse kringen het adagium dat als je Bart De Wever intellectueel wil aanpakken, je best Theodore Dalrymple kan aanvallen. Vrijheid en oprechtheid levert voor- en zeker ook tegenstanders de nodige munitie om de - vooral sociale - standpunten van beide 'public intellectuals' te leren kennen.
