This essay aims to analyse the anthropological vision developed by Hugh Grotius in his De Jure belli ac pacis (1625), in order to emphasise its ontological-rational foundation, which the author adopts after going beyond the theological voluntarism still present in his earlier works. Therefore, the relationship between the two peculiar qualities of mankind, namely the appetitus societatis and recta ratio, has been explored in depth, highlighting the influence of Stoicism on Grotius’ conception of honestum and virtus.

Abstract
This essay aims to analyse the anthropological vision developed by Hugh Grotius in his De Jure belli ac pacis (1625), in order to emphasise its ontological-rational foundation, which the author adopts after going beyond the theological voluntarism still present in his earlier works. Therefore, the relationship between the two peculiar qualities of mankind, namely the appetitus societatis and recta ratio, has been explored in depth, highlighting the influence of Stoicism on Grotius’ conception of honestum and virtus.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
