格劳秀斯的自然法思想初探——基于《战争与和平法》

A Study of Grotius’s Natural Law Philosophy —Based on The Law of War and Peace

摘要: 本文以格劳秀斯的著作《战争与和平法》为切入点，探讨格劳秀斯的自然法思想，分析其提出的理论逻辑，梳理该理论的主要内容，最后对其做出评述。研究发现，格劳秀斯以战争为中介，提出自然法理论，他的自然法思想推动了神法向人法的转变，创建了一套解释国家的政治学说，为后世提供了理性的论证方法，然而也具有一些局限性，我们应当取其精华去其糟粕。

Abstract: This paper takes Hugo Grotius’s book The Law of War and Peace as the starting point, discusses Grotius’s natural law thought, analyzes the theoretical logic of natural law thought, sorts out the main contents of the theory, and finally comments on it. The study finds that Grotius uses war as an intermediary to put forward the theory of natural law, and his natural law ideas promote the transformation of divine law to human law, create a set of political doctrines to explain the state, and provide rational argumentation methods for future generations, but also have some limitations, so we should take the essence of it and remove its waste.
