    chapter 7 Men, Monsters and the History of Mankind in Vattel’s Law of Nations Pärtel Piirimäe 1 Introduction Emer de Vattel has been widely considered a seminal figure in the European tradition of the law of nations. While attaching himself to the earlier tradition of natural jurisprudence, he offered a normative system of the law of nations that was more firmly and explicitly anchored to the political practice of his contemporary Europe than were the doctrines of his predecessors. Vattel pro- moted the practical applicability of his Droit des gens (1758), stressing that it was not so much written for interested ‘private individuals’, i.e. other scholars or the general public, but it was a ‘law of sovereigns’ that was primarily in- tended for ‘them and their ministers’. It would not help much, he explained, if his maxims were studied only by those who had no influence over public affairs; the ‘conductors of states’, on the other hand, if they chose to learn this science and adopt its maxims as the ‘compass’ for their policies, could produce many ‘happy results’.1 Vattel emphasized the easy comprehension and applica- bility of his book, contrasting his approach with that of Christian Wolff, whose treatise on the law of nations could be understood only if one ‘previously stud- ied sixteen or seventeen quarto volumes which precede it’.2 As Vattel famous- ly declared, his original intention was to introduce Wolff’s system to a wider readership, by rendering his rigid and formal work more ‘agreeable and better calculated to ensure it a reception in the polite world’.3 While it is clear that Vattel’s work amounted to much more than a system- atic account of Wolff’s principles,4 it is in the manner of presentation that the differences between the two scholars are the most striking.

  • English Attitudes Toward Continental Protestants with Particular Reference to Church Briefs C.1680-1740
    English Attitudes toward Continental Protestants with Particular Reference to Church Briefs c.1680-1740 By Sugiko Nishikawa A Dissertation for the degree of Ph. D. in the University of London 1998 B CL LO\D0 UNIV Abstract Title: English Attitudes toward Continental Protestants with Particular Reference to Church Briefs c.1680-1740 Author: Sugiko Nishikawa It has long been accepted that the Catholic threat posed by Louis X1V played an important role in English politics from the late seventeenth century onwards. The expansionist politics of Louis and his attempts to eliminate Protestants within his sphere of influence enhanced the sense of a general crisis of Protestantism in Europe. Moreover news of the persecution of foreign Protestants stimulated a great deal of anti-popish sentiment as well as a sense of the need for Protestant solidarity. The purpose of my studies is to explore how the English perceived the persecution of continental Protestants and to analyse what it meant for the English to be involved in various relief programmes for them from c. 1680 to 1740. Accordingly, I have examined the church briefs which were issued to raise contributions for the relief of continental Protestants, and which serve as evidence of Protestant internationalism against the perceived Catholic threat of the day. I have considered the spectrum of views concerning continental Protestants within the Church; in some attitudes evinced by clergymen, there was an element which might be called ecclesiastical imperialism rather than internationalism. At the same time I have examined laymen's attitudes; this investigation of the activities of the SPCK, one of the most influential voluntary societies of the day, which was closely concerned with continental Protestants, fulfills this purpose.

  • The Law of Nations and Natural Law 1625–​1800
    chapter 6 The International Political Thought of Johann Jacob Schmauss and Johann Gottlieb Heineccius: Natural Law, Interest, History and the Balance of Power Peter Schröder 1 Introduction Hugo Grotius had been fairly optimistic that his natural law doctrine would be able to regulate the antagonistic relations between sovereign states. By looking at the arguments of Johann Jacob Schmauss (1690– 1757) and Johann Gottlieb Heineccius (1681– 1741), this chapter scrutinizes the limits of natural law regard- ing interstate relations. They used classical political or juridical concepts of international political thought – such as interest, balance of power, natural law and history – in their political and philosophical writings. Schmauss and Heineccius were both taught by Christian Thomasius1 and were part of the circle of Thomasius’s disciples at the newly founded University of Halle who shaped and continued the early Enlightenment and natural law project. But they pursued their writings and teaching in different directions. Schmauss belonged to the great eighteenth- century jurists. And yet he is almost entirely forgotten, despite the fact that some specialists have empha- sized his importance.2 Schmauss provides one of the crucial links between the University of Halle and the natural law tradition which is so closely associated with Thomasius, and the up and coming University of Göttingen, where he 1 In contrast to Schmauss and Heineccius, Thomasius has been well researched.

  • Goethe's “Hermann and Dorothea
    THESIS. A S T U O Y O F' GOETHE’S “HERMANN AND DOROTHEA COMPARED WITH LONGFELLOW’S “EVANGELINE,” . BY . M. ROSE MOORE. FOR THE DEGREE OF A. B. IN THE COLLEGE OF LITERATURE AND ARTS. UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS. 1896. The simple story of Hermann and Dorothea is one of Goethe's most delightful productions. It never ceased to give pleasure to its author even in his old age and he always considered it one of his happiest inspirations. It can never cease to be an enjoyment to cultured, beauty-loving readers, who will always esteem it one of the choicest gems of poetic thought. This simple idyl of middle-class life in Germany has touched a vibrant chord in every true heart, and no one can fail to feel a lively sympathy with the admirable people Goethe has so faithfully portrayed. The poem was written during the period of Goethe's friendship with Schiller. After completing his Torquato Tasso and the Roman Elegies Goethe has been occupied with ministerial business and the study of science, so had pro­ duced nothing worthy to rank with his best work. He almost thought he had lost the impulse for writing poetry but his power was only slumbering and was awakened by his intercourse with Schiller, whose enthusiasm, as Goethe himself said, called forth "a second youth," "a new spring." It was Schiller's intense interest that induced him to complete his Wilhelm Meister which he had begun before his visit to Italy. However, he did not enter fully into the spirit of the work and hurried the conclusion to get the book off his hands in * order to write Hermann and Dorothea.
