Download or read book The Common Good in Late Medieval Political Thought written by M. S. Kempshall and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 1999-05-20 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study offers a major reinterpretation of medieval political thought by examining one of its most fundamental ideas. If it was axiomatic that the goal of human society should be the common good, then this notion presented at least two conceptual alternatives. Did it embody the highest moral ideals of happiness and the life of virtue, or did it represent the more pragmatic benefits of peace and material security? Political thinkers from Thomas Aquinas to William of Ockham answered this question in various contexts. In theoretical terms, they were reacting to the rediscovery of Aristotle's Politics and Ethics, an event often seen as pivotal in the history of political thought. On a practical level, they were faced with pressing concerns over the exercise of both temporal and ecclesiastical authority - resistance to royal taxation and opposition to the jurisdiction of the pope. In establishing the connections between these different contexts, The Common Good questions the identification of Aristotle as the primary catalyst for the emergence of 'the individual' and a 'secular' theory of the state. Through a detailed exposition of scholastic political theology, it argues that the roots of any such developments should be traced, instead, to Augustine and the Bible.

Download or read book A Companion to Giles of Rome written by Charles Briggs and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-08-09 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In A Companion to Giles of Rome, Charles Briggs, Peter Eardley, and seven other leading specialists provide the first synoptic treatment of the thought, works, life, and legacy of Giles of Rome (c. 1243/7–1316), one of medieval Europe’s most important and influential scholastic philosophers and theologians. The Giles that emerges from this volume was a subtle and independent thinker, who more than refining and modifying the positions of his teacher Aquinas, also made strikingly original contributions to theology, physics, metaphysics, psychology, ethics, logic, rhetoric, and political thought. He was also the founding intellectual of the Augustinian friars and a key participant in controversies at the University of Paris, and between Church and State. Contributors are: Charles F. Briggs, Richard Cross, Silvia Donati, Peter S. Eardley, Roberto Lambertini, Costantino Marmo, Martin Pickavé, Giorgio Pini, and Cecilia Trifogli.
Download or read book Consent Coercion and Limit written by Monahan and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-08-21 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concepts of popular consent and limit as applied to the exercise of political authority are fundamental features of parliamentary democracy. Both these concepts played a role in medieval political theorizing, although the meaning and significance of political consent in this thought has not been well understood. In a careful, scholarly, and readable survey of the major political texts from Augustine to Ockham, Arthur Monahan analyses the contribution of medieval thought to the development of these two concepts and to the correlative concept of coercion. In addition, he deals with the development of these concepts in Roman and canon law and in the practices of the emerging states of France and England and the Italian city- states, as well as considering works in legal and administrative theory and constitutional documents. In each case his interpretations are placed in the wider context of developments in law, church, and administrative reforms. The result is the first complete study of these three crucial terms as used in the Middle Ages, as well as an excellent summary of work done in a number of specialized fields over the last twenty-five years.

Download or read book Three Royalist Tracts 1296 1302 written by R. W. Dyson and published by Burns & Oates. This book was released on 1999 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The celebrated controversies of 1296-1303 between Philip the Fair of France and Pope Boniface VIII produced a huge amount of polemical literature. In addition to several major treatises, all of which have been published in modern editions, there exists an important literature of pamphlets and diplomatic correspondence. This minor literature remains largely untranslated and unedited, or is available only in hard-to-access sources. The three pamphlets printed in this volume are well known by name: Antequam essent clerici, Disputatio inter clericum et militem and Quaestio in utramque partem. Almost all histories and textbooks make reference to these documents; but few students have ever read them or even seen them, and it is for the benefit of such students that they are now published. Completely new editions of the Latin texts have been made from the manuscripts, and are printed on the left-hand pages, with an English translation on the right-hand page. Anyone who wishes to compare the translations with the originals will therefore be able to do so easily. There is also a comprehensive introduction and bibliography by the editor. This book will provide a valuable resource to students of one of the most important controversies of the middle ages. --three pamphlets relating to the controversy between Pope Boniface VIII and King Philip the Fair of France, regarding clerical taxation and secular jurisdiction, that culminated in an attempt by the King of France's ministers to forcibly depose, or assassinate, the Pope --material fully edited or translated into English for the first time --parallel edition of Latin text and English translation --full editorial apparatus of introduction and bibliography
Download or read book The Problem of Sovereignty in the Later Middle Ages written by Michael Wilks and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-07-31 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sovereignty has always been an important concept in political thought, and at no time in European history was it more important than during the perplexed conditions of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Universal government was a fading dream, giving way to the new conception of the national state and the whole basis of political thought was being reorientated by the influx of Aristotelian ideas. Dr Wilks's book is an attempt to clarify the more important problems in the political outlook of the period. He shows that at this time the theologians and literary writers, especially Augustinus Triumphus of Ancona, had built up a complete theory of sovereignty in favour of the papal monarchy, based on a neo-Platonic, Augustinian view of the church as a universal and totalitarian state.

Download or read book Political Thought in Europe 1250 1450 written by Antony Black and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1992-08-20 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why did European civilisation develop as it did? Why was it so different from that of Russia, the Islamic world and elsewhere? In this new textbook Antony Black explores some of the reasons, looking at ideas of the state, law, rulership, representation of the community, and the right to self-administration, and how, during a crucial period these became embedded in people's self-awareness, and articulated and justified by theorists. This is the first concise overview of a period never previously treated satisfactorily as a whole: Dr Black uses the analytical tools of scholars such as Pocock and Skinner to set the work of political theorists in the context of both contemporary politics and the longer-term history of political ideas. The book provides students of both medieval history and political thought with an accessible and lucid introduction to the early development of certain ideas fundamental to the organisation of the modern world and contains a full bibliography to assist students wishing to pursue the subject in greater depth.
