Juan de Mariana and Early Modern Spanish Political Thought by Harald E. Braun

By Harald E. Braun

The Jesuit Juan de Mariana (1535-1624) is likely one of the so much misunderstood authors within the heritage of political idea. His treatise "De rege et regis institutione libri tres" (1599) is devoted to Philip III of Spain. It used to be to provide the foundations of statecraft wherein the younger king was once to abide. but quickly after its book, Catholic and Calvinist politiques in France begun branding Mariana a regicide. "De rege" used to be stated to empower the non-public person to kill a sound king. Its 'pernicious doctrines' have been blamed for the homicide of Henry IV in 1610, and it used to be burned on the order of the parliament of Paris. smooth historians have tended to construct in this interpretation and look at "De rege" a stepping stone in the direction of glossy pluralist and democratic notion. not anything might be farther from the reality.

"De rege" is phenomenal in that it strings jointly a curious scholastic idea of the origins of society, a conservative ideology of absolute monarchy and a breathtakingly radical imaginative and prescient of theocratic renewal of Spanish executive and society. "Juan de Mariana and Early glossy Political concept" elucidates the differentiated nature of political debate in Habsburg Spain.
