Abstract
One is apt to form too idyllic a conception of labour such as that of Grotius. The student pictures him as the child, predestined while yet in the cradle to become an apostle of peace; he thinks of the man whose life was devoted, without a break, to the Law of Nations and of individuals; a creative genius whose illustrious works were adorned with such names as „Via ad Pacem” or „Votum pro Pace” (1642).
