Right and society

In the Republic of Platon the problems essential were posed which founded the philosophy of the right, namely the relation between the capacity and the right. Let us announce simply here that at times of Plato and Aristote the concept of justice was based on the rationality of the human nature, i.e. on designs relating to the man and nature; while the things will change with the Middle Ages where the divine force assisted to interpret or justify the human reason. With the eyes of Grotius the human reason creates legal standards in a spontaneous way and it is what explains its position opposed to fanaticism calvinien.
