Hugo Grotius’s zodiac sign is Aries. According to astrologers, the presence of Aries always marks the beginning of something energetic and turbulent. They are continuously looking for dynamic, speed and competition, always being the first in everything - from work to social gatherings. Thanks to its ruling planet Mars and the fact it belongs to the element of Fire (just like Leo and Sagittarius), Aries is one of the most active zodiac signs. It is in their nature to take action, sometimes before they think about it well.
Hugo Grotius was born in the Year of the Goat. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Goat enjoy being alone in their thoughts. They’re creative, thinkers, wanderers, unorganized, high-strung and insecure, and can be anxiety-ridden. They need lots of love, support and reassurance. Appearance is important too. Compatible with Pig or Rabbit.
Remembered best for his significant philosophical contributions to the field of international law, Grotius penned the famous Mare Liberum doctrine of 1609. Also a theologian, he was an important figure in Protestantism's seventeenth-century debate over the principles of Arminianism versus Calvinism.
At the age of eleven, he began studying at the University of Leiden; five years later, he published his debut scholarly work.
In 1625, he wrote a famous three-part legal treatise titled De Jure Belli ac Pacis Libri Tres (English title: On the Law of War and Peace: Three books).
He was born in Delft, Netherlands to Jan de Groot and Alida van Overschie.
Indian-born Economist Amartya Sen was the keynote speaker at the American Society of International Law's annual Grotius Lectures. The prestigious lecture series was established in 1999 to honor Grotius' contributions to legal theory.
