Abstract

This collection of essays is dedicated to the memory of the late Harvard philosopher Robert Nozick, who died in 2002. The publication of Nozick's Anarchy, State, and Utopia in 1974 revived serious interest in natural rights liberalism, which, beginning in the latter half of the eighteenth century, had been eclipsed by a succession of antithetical political theories including utilitarianism, progressivism, and various egalitarian and collectivist ideologies. Some of our contributors critique Nozick's political philosophy. Other contributors examine earlier figures in the liberal tradition, most notably John Locke, whose Second Treatise of Government, published in the late seventeenth century, profoundly influenced the American founders. The remaining authors analyze natural rights liberalism's central doctrines.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

Depuis que les hommes édictent des lois, ils cherchent à en assurer la légitimité. A cet égard, leurs efforts se fondent essentiellement soir sur la divinité, soit sur la raison, sans préjudice des essais de synthèse entre ces deux ancrages. Les justifications puisées dans le sacré, autant que celles qui prétendent se déduire de la rationalité, changent toutefois de sens au cours de l'histoire. Les dieux d'Antigone ne ressemblent ni au Dieu des chrétiens, ni à Allah. La raison conquérante de l'homme de la Renaissance n'est plus la raison contemplative et téléologique d'Aristote. La "nature" se prétend depuis toujours issue de cette rationalité changeante, et on lui a fait dire, dans l'histoire de la pensée, toutes sortes de choses et leur contraire. Elle a prétendument justifié la recherche de la paix et de l'harmonie sociale, mais aussi la guerre et les génocides ; le respect de la loi et la révolte ; la monogamie et la polygamie... Et si la référence à la "nature" n'était que la manière de faire apparaître les présupposés du système juridique qui prétend s'y référer ?

Abstract

"Braybrooke challenges received scholarly opinion by arguing that canonical theorists Hobbes, Locke, Hume, and Rousseau took St Thomas Aquinas as their point of reference, reinforcing rather than departing from his natural law theory."--JSTOR website (viewed March 8, 2017).
