Publisher's Synopsis
""Studies of Political Thought: From Gerson to Grotius, 1414-1625"" is a book written by John Neville Figgis and published in 1907. The book is a comprehensive study of political thought during the period between 1414 and 1625, covering the works of prominent philosophers and thinkers such as Jean Gerson, Marsilius of Padua, Thomas Aquinas, and Hugo Grotius. Figgis explores the evolution of political thought during this period, tracing the development of ideas such as sovereignty, the role of the state, and the relationship between church and state. He also examines the impact of the Reformation and the rise of Protestantism on political thought, as well as the emergence of humanism and the influence of classical philosophy on political theory. The book is divided into chapters that focus on different aspects of political thought, such as the concept of law, the nature of political authority, and the relationship between the individual and the state. Figgis draws on a wide range of primary sources, including political treatises, letters, and speeches, to provide a detailed analysis of the ideas and arguments put forward by the thinkers of the period. Overall, ""Studies of Political Thought: From Gerson to Grotius, 1414-1625"" is a seminal work in the field of political theory, providing valuable insights into the intellectual history of Europe during a period of significant political and social change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
