The Scholar, As The True Progressive And Conservative

The book titled ""The Scholar, As The True Progressive And Conservative: Illustrated In The Life Of Hugo Grotius, And By The Law Of Nations"" was written by Samuel Sullivan Cox and was published in 1852. The book is a detailed account of the life of Hugo Grotius, who was a renowned Dutch philosopher, theologian, and jurist of the 17th century. The author uses Grotius' life and work to illustrate the concept of a true progressive and conservative scholar.The book also focuses on the Law of Nations, which is a set of rules and principles that govern the relations between nations. Cox argues that Grotius' work on the Law of Nations is a perfect example of a scholar who was both progressive and conservative. Grotius' ideas and principles were progressive in that they challenged the traditional notions of international law and diplomacy, but they were also conservative in that they were based on the principles of natural law and the Christian faith.The author goes on to discuss how Grotius' ideas influenced the development of international law and diplomacy, and how they continue to shape the world today. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of international relations, philosophy, and law. It provides a comprehensive overview of Grotius' life and work, and offers insights into the nature of true scholarship.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
