Doma - Jean Domat

Japanese: ドマ - どま（英語表記）Jean Domat

1625‐96
One of France's greatest legal scholars. Born into a family of lawyers, he studied at the University of Bourges, and after working as a lawyer, he served as prosecutor of the Superior Court of his hometown, Clermont-Ferrand, for 30 years from 1655. He was a lifelong friend of his fellow townsman B. Pascal, with whom he fought to defend the faith of Jansenism, and was even entrusted with his personal documents at the end of his life. His originality lay in his reconstruction of the principles of Roman law from the perspective of religious principles (love of God) and the needs of the times (love of one's neighbor), that is, in accordance with natural law and rational order. This work was recognized by Louis XIV, and from 1685 he devoted himself to writing as a hermit at the Port-Royal Abbey near Paris.

フランス最大の法学者の一人。法曹の家系に生まれ，ブールジュ大学に学び，弁護士を経て，1655年以降30年間，生地クレルモン･フェランの上座裁判所検事を務めた。同郷のB.パスカルとは生涯の親友で，ともにジャンセニスムの信仰擁護のために闘い，その最期には個人的書類を託されてもいる。彼の独創性は，ローマ法の諸原則を宗教的諸原理(神の愛)と時代の必要(隣人愛)の観点から，すなわち自然法的･合理的秩序に従って再構成したことにあり，この仕事がルイ14世に認められ，85年以降パリ近郊ポール･ロアイヤル修道院の隠士として著作に専念した。
