Book English Political Thought

Download or read book English Political Thought written by J. W. Allen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1938. A study of the political doctrines and events which led to a hardening of lines between the Royalists and the Parliamentarians. "From the March of 1604, when James I met his first Parliament to the assembly of the Long Parliament in November 1640, there was going on a conflict between irreconcilable views concerning the constitution of government in England. It was concerned with what had been and with what was and, necessarily, with what should be." By 1640 the question soon would be "how stable government could ever again be established . . . But the confusion, if it produced little else of value, produced a ferment of thought." And this ferment has had an incalculable effect on the centuries which have followed. Among the many topics discussed, on the basis of firm knowledge and with reasonableness, are the King and the nature of his claim, the parliamentary opposition and its conceptions and the possibility of compromise, the approach to Toleration, Puritanism and the Laudian Church, and the final collapse of government.

  • Publisher : Routledge
  • Release : 2016-12-05
  • ISBN : 9781138176379
  • Pages : 318 pages

Download or read book Royalists and Patriots written by J. P. Sommerville and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This well-known book reasserts the central importance of political and religious ideology in the origins of the English Civil War. Recent historiography has concentrated on its social and economic causes: Sommerville reminds us what the people of the time thought they were fighting about. Examining the main political theories in c.17th England - the Divine Right of Kings, government by consent, and the ancient constitution - he considers their impact on actual events. He draws on major political thinkers like Hobbes and Locke, but also on lesser but more representative figures, to explore what was new in these ideas and what was merely the common currency of the age. This major new edition incorporates all the latest thinking on the subject.

  • Pages : 206 pages

Download or read book Godly Rule written by William Montgomerie Lamont and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book looks at the social and political turmoil of the period 1603 - 1660. Millenarianism has been too often dismissed as a creed for cranks. In this provocative study, Dr. Lamont argues that many of the assumptions of mid-17th century fanatics were shared by their Establishment opponents. It was not only Fifth Monarchy Men in the seventeenth century who believed that the end of the world was imminent; that Protestants were locked in an historic struggle with antichrist; that the Book of Revelation held the key to the 'Godly Rule' that must be set up in England, King James I, Archbishop Laud and the 'Root and Branch' ministers are among the Establishment figures who are looked at afresh in the first half of this study; some common assumptions about them are questioned. At what point in English history does it become misleading to think of the orthodox mainstream of protestant thought sharing millenarian dreams with more radical critics? The search for an answer to this question occupies the second half of this book: it leads Dr. Lamont to give more prominence than is usually given in works on this period to the Erastian rebellion in the mid-1640s led by Thomas Coleman. Oliver Cromwell has a part to play in this process too - but, it is argued, a somewhat ambiguous part. This study is intended to provoke the lively sixth former, college of education student and undergraduate to thought and occasionally to violent disagreement."-Publisher.

Book Sir Robert Filmer and English Political Thought

Download or read book Sir Robert Filmer and English Political Thought written by James Daly and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1979-12-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Robert Filmer (1588-1653) was a defender of 'the Natural Power of Kings against the Unnatural Liberty of the People.' His doctrine of omnicompetent sovereignty had little influence on the thought and political debates of his time, for none of his writings was published until the last few years of his life; but it came under scrutiny later in the century, particularly during the exclusion crisis and in the political writings of John Locke. This book is the first comprehensive analysis of his thought, its context, and its place in English political thought as a whole. Daly examines Filmer's publishing career, his relation to contemporary writers and critics, and the chief sources on which he drew. The book thus provides the background for a study of Filmer's theory of sovereignty, its voluntarist concept of law, its rejection of prescription, fundamental law, and non-monarchical forms of government, and its insistence that monarchy be not only absolute, but arbitrary as well. Analysing Filmer's interpretation of Adam's (and all kings') 'fatherly power,' here described as 'legal patriarchalism,' Daly shows it to be very different from most contemporary thought. In comparing Filmer's thought with that of other royalists and the positions taken by his critics, notably Edward Gee, James Tyrrell, Algernon Sidney, and of course Locke, he shows it to be strikingly original, almost revolutionary, and frequently distorted by those who dealt with it.

Book The English Levellers

    Book Details:
  • Author : Andrew Sharp
  • Publisher : Cambridge University Press
  • Release : 1998-06-11
  • ISBN : 9780521625111
  • Pages : 266 pages

Download or read book The English Levellers written by Andrew Sharp and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-06-11 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Levellers were a crucial component of a radically democratic movement during the civil wars in seventeenth-century England. This was to be democratic at a time when the very idea of democracy conjured up nothing good; with its suggestion of anarchy and the 'levelling' of distinctions in rank and of property, even the holding of women in common. This collection of thirteen fully annotated Leveller writings, including their famous Agreements of the People, is important as a contribution not only to the understanding of the English civil wars, but also of democratic theory. The editor's introduction sets the Leveller ideas in their context and, together with a chronology, short biographies of the leading figures and a guide to further reading, will be of interest to students of the English civil wars, the history of political thought and the history of democratic ideas.
