格老秀斯国际法思想的历史渊源探究

On the Historical Origin of Grotius'Thought of International Law

格老秀斯作为现代国际法的开山鼻祖,他在法学、尤其是国际法领域的建树使得后世学者毫不吝啬地授予其国际法之父的桂冕,其著作《战争与和平法》更是为几代人奉为圭臬。探究其国际法的脉络渊源将是我们深入理解其人意法背后理念的必经之路,从中我们可以窥见到格老秀斯思想秘境的惊鸿一角。国际法作为调整国家间关系的法律规范,在古希腊的城邦世界里孕育胚胎,并于罗马帝国的宏伟版图中脱颖而出,经历了中世纪教规法的冲击洗礼,最终汇入现代民族国家建构政治秩序的思想长河中。本文将以时间顺序的脉络梳理其国际法的思想渊源,并结合格老秀斯本人的著作以及相关学者的论述对其进行深入的探讨。

as the founder of modern international law,Grotius made great achievements in law,especially in the field of international law,which made later scholars grant him the laurel crown as the father of international law.His work,“The Right of War and Peace”has been regarded as the standard for generations.Exploring the context and origin of his international law will be the only way for us to deeply understand the concept behind the law,from which we can see a startling corner of the secret realm of Grotius'thought.The international law,as a legal norm regulating relations between states,was conceived in the city-state world of ancient Greece.It stood out in the grand territory of the Roman Empire,experienced the impact and baptism of medieval canon law,and finally merged into the long river of thought of modern nation-state construction of political order.This paper will sort out its ideological origin in a chronological context,and make an in-depth discussion on it in combination with Grotius's own works and the discussions of relevant scholars.
