The Political Theory of the Schoolmen and Grotius is a three-part book written by John Martin Littlejohn and published in 1894. The book explores the political theories of the Schoolmen, a group of medieval Christian scholars, and Hugo Grotius, a Dutch philosopher and jurist of the early modern period. Part one of the book focuses on the political theory of the Schoolmen, discussing their views on the nature of the state, the relationship between church and state, and the role of the ruler. The Schoolmen believed that the state was a divinely ordained institution and that the ruler had a duty to promote the common good. Part two of the book examines the political theory of Hugo Grotius, who believed in the natural law and the rights of individuals. Grotius argued that the state had a duty to protect the natural rights of its citizens and that individuals had a right to rebel against an unjust ruler. Part three of the book compares and contrasts the political theories of the Schoolmen and Grotius, highlighting their similarities and differences. Littlejohn argues that both the Schoolmen and Grotius believed in the importance of natural law and the obligation of the ruler to promote the common good, but differed in their views on the relationship between church and state and the rights of individuals. Overall, The Political Theory of the Schoolmen and Grotius is a comprehensive study of the political theories of two influential thinkers, providing valuable insights into the development of political thought in the Western world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
