This study investigates the thinking of European authors from
Vitoria to Kant about political justice, the global community, and
the rights of strangers as one special form of interaction among
individuals of divergent societies, political communities, and
cultures. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, it covers
historical material from a predominantly philosophical perspective,
interpreting authors who have tackled problems related to the
rights of strangers under the heading of international hospitality.
Their analyses of the civitas maxima or the societas humani generis
covered the nature of the global commonwealth. Their doctrines of
natural law (ius naturae) were supposed to provide what we nowadays
call theories of political justice. The focus of the work is on
international hospitality as part of the law of nations, on its
scope and justification. It follows the political ideas of
Francisco de Vitoria and the Second Scholastic in the 16th century,
of Alberico Gentili, Hugo Grotius, Samuel Pufendorf, Christian
Wolff, Emer de Vattel, Johann Jacob Moser, and Immanuel Kant. It
draws attention to the international dimension of political thought
in Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, David Hume,
Adam Smith, and others. This is predominantly a study in
intellectual history which contextualizes ideas, but also
emphasizes their systematic relevance.
