Hugo Grotius on Social Goods - Dictionary of Arguments
Höffe I 309 Public Goods/Community Goods/Grotius/Höffe: According to the teacher of international law Hugo Grotius (1583-1645) and his powerful writing on the law of war and peace(1), the earth and its fruits are first of all the common property of mankind. Private property is created through a contractual transfer of certain parts of it. LockeVsGrotius: In contrast, Locke claims what Rousseau follows in the social contract: According to the model of agriculture and craftsmanship, property is acquired through work, with which the object is prepared according to needs. >J. Locke. KantVsGrotius: Kant agrees with Locke's view that primary ownership does not arise from contractual agreement, but from an original acquisition. He rejects the labour theory, however. The work presupposes a material that must already belong to someone, so that it does not establish an original legal title. >I. Kant. 1. H. Grotius, De jure belli ac pacis, 1625, II, Chap. 2-3_____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
