Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of Mediæval Political Theory in the West, Vol. 1: The Second Century to the Ninth In bringing out the first volume of a History of Mediæval Political Theory, it may be well to indicate briefly the character of the work which we hope to carry out. In this volume we deal with the elements out of which the more developed theory of the Middle Ages arose; we hope to carry on the work to the political theorists of the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries - that is, to the time when, as it is thought, the specific characteristics of modern political theory began to take shape. The subject with which we are endeavouring to deal is strictly a history of theory, not of institutions. We believe, indeed, that in the Middle Ages, as at other times, the two things are closely related to each other, - that theory never moves very far away from the actual conditions of public life; but yet the two things are distinct, if not separate. The principles which lie behind the development of political institutions are sometimes the subject of careful reflection, sometimes are hardly apprehended; but in either case they are to be distinguished from any particular concrete forms in which they may be embodied.
