It was precisely this understanding that offensive force can be justified only as a reaction to wrongdoing that led Hugo Grotius, the most systematic of all the classical just-war theorists, to issue a strong caution against preventive war. By orienting themselves so much to the ancient natural-law tradition, they miss the main point of the modern natural-law tradition (which includes such venerable figures as Hugo Grotius, Samuel Pufendorf, John Locke, and even David Hume), which was to refute the ever-present skeptics by providing a firm and unchallengeable foundation and progression for the arguments for justice. Jane Newman examines race in the works of Hugo Grotius, showing how he imagined the Christian Ethiopians not as barbarous Others, but as being just like Christian Europeans, provided one stripped away the "accidental" features of the Christianity they practiced. |
