The Three Stages In The Evolution Of The Law Of Nations (1919)

By Cornelis van Vollenhoven

Book Overview

The Three Stages In The Evolution Of The Law Of Nations is a scholarly book written by Cornelis Van Vollenhoven in 1919. The book explores the evolution of international law from ancient times to the modern era. Vollenhoven divides the evolution of international law into three stages: the first stage is the period of natural law, which lasted from ancient times to the end of the Middle Ages; the second stage is the period of positivism, which began in the 16th century and lasted until the 19th century; and the third stage is the period of sociological jurisprudence, which began in the late 19th century and continues to the present day.Vollenhoven examines the various legal theories and practices that emerged during each of these three stages, and he argues that each stage built upon the previous one, leading to the development of a more sophisticated and nuanced understanding of international law. He also explores the role that religion, philosophy, and politics played in shaping international law during each stage.The Three Stages In The Evolution Of The Law Of Nations is a seminal work in the field of international law, and it continues to be widely read and studied today. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and evolution of international law.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
