Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of Mediæval Political Theory in the West, Vol. 5: The Political Theory of the Thirteenth Century It is now a little more than thirty-five years since we began this work, and this volume represents more or less what we then thought to produce, but we had not gone very far before we recognised that in order to understand the real character of the poetical theory of the Middle Ages it was necessary to go back for many centuries, especially to the Roman Jurists of the second century, and to the Christian Fathers, and even to make some examination of the political conceptions of the post-Aristotelian philosophy, from which both Jurists and Fathers derived some of their most important principles. We have in previous volumes therefore endeavoured to set out something of the history of mediæval political theory, and to give their due weight to the various traditions out of which it arose, and by which it was influenced in varying degrees. In this volume we have endeavoured to set out the culmination of this long process of development in the thirteenth century. We hope to publish another volume dealing with the movements of political thought from the fourteenth to the sixteenth centuries - that is, during the period of the Renaissance - and to inquire what if any new conceptions of importance took their rise during these centuries, and thus to see more clearly how far modern political conceptions are continuous with those of the Middle Ages.
