Until recently, Hugo Grotius has been conspicuously absent in studies of the revival of Stoic philosophy in the 16th and 17th centuries. Dominant models of Neo-stoicism have emphasised the aesthetic and literary innovations, or the bureaucratic applications of the works of Seneca and Tacitus. The moral, legal and political forms of Stoicism in the formative years of the Westphalian System have still to be acknowledged, as goes for the presence of Stoicism in its most innovative intellectual representative: Hugo Grotius (1583-1645). Hugo Grotius’s lasting contribution comes under three headings. He gave the laws of nature a sure footing in the new international order. He pleaded for the uncovering of universal concepts of common human understanding, which formed the basis for his ecumenical endeavours. Thirdly, Grotius was aware of the limited powers of man, given the determination and order of the world. Together, these three intellectual stances are definitely Stoic, and they illustrate the importance of Stoic philosophy in the early Dutch republic. Grotius, nonetheless, is not a Stoic philosopher, if only because he eschewed ‘isms’, and portrayed himself as an eclectic, bringing together the common wisdom of mankind, that on which the schools of philosophy agree, rather than allying himself dogmatically. Within this eclecticism, however, Stoicisms loom large. This book is about these Stoicisms within Grotius’ thought. It is written by specialists on Grotius’ thought and on intellectual and legal history and political thought of the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. The volume traces the development of Neo-stoicism through Justus Lipsius and its further fate in the writings of Grotius, his contemporaries and his followers.
