 As the previous section stressed, Grotius’ natural law theory was about much more than politics; it offered an account of normativity of all kinds. At the same time as he was concerned to explicate normativity generally speaking, the evidence unambiguously suggests that he was especially interested in political issues. After all, he did lead a very political life and his two greatest works are eminently political. In this section, a few of his political ideas are discussed.
