Understanding our current world crises requires a deep exploration of the origins of the systems and institutions that we often take for granted. This book takes a unique approach by intertwining the study of intellectual, scientific, and philosophical histories with the development of the international legal order. By examining the philosophy and theology of the Scientific Revolution and its profound impact on European natural law, political liberalism, and political economy, the author seeks to chart a comprehensive account of the evolution of these complex systems.

Beginning with an analysis of the works of renowned thinkers such as Thomas Hobbes, Robert Boyle, and John Locke on natural law, the author incorporates a holistic perspective that encompasses global legal matters beyond the foundational aspects of treaties and diplomacy. This comprehensive approach aims to promote a sustainable transformation of international law within the context of related philosophy, history, and theology.

The monograph delves into a range of critical issues, including nature, money, necessities, human nature, secularism, and epistemology, which form the core of natural lawyers' thinking. Associate Professor García-Salmones adeptly explains the enduring relevance of these topics for international legal studies, highlighting their significance in shaping our understanding of global governance and international relations.

Through meticulous research and insightful analysis, this book offers valuable insights into the historical roots of our contemporary world crises and provides a roadmap for navigating the challenges we face today. It serves as a testament to the power of interdisciplinary scholarship and the importance of studying the complex interplay between different disciplines to unravel the complexities of our globalized world.
