Rethinking Medieval and Renaissance Political Thought
This collection of essays, written by leading experts, showcases historiographical problems, fresh interpretations, and new debates in medieval and Renaissance history and political thought. Recent scholarship on medieval and Renaissance political thought is witness to tectonic movements. These involve quiet, yet considerable, re-evaluations of key thinkers such as Thomas Aquinas and Machiavelli, as well as the string of lesser known "political thinkers" who wrote in western Europe between Late Antiquity and the Reformation. Taking stock of thirty years of developments, this volume demonstrates the contemporary vibrancy of the history of medieval and Renaissance political thought. By both ce...
Rule of Law
Edited by Barbara Faedda Based on a division of powers and the supremacy of a constitution, the rule of law is not invulnerable, as was demonstrated in the violent attack against the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. It can be used but also abused; it can be respected or exploited, exalted or undermined. It can even arouse skepticism, because it is not always effective against the realities of political life. In a world facing social division, polarization, poverty, climate change, and pandemics, it is crucial to understand the roles of those who manage, control, or are touched by the rule of law. This book’s primary goal is to showcase the variety of perspectives, cases, and methodologies ...
Laura Pausini: The Essence of Music
You know, life is full of unexpected moments. Some are beautiful, like the applause of a crowd that knows every word of your song. Others are challenging, like the days when you wonder if you're on the right track, if you have enough strength to keep going. I've lived both extremes. And today, as I look back, I see that every experience the good and the hard shaped who I am. I always say that music is my way of breathing. It's my way of translating feelings, of transforming pain into something beautiful, of sharing joy. Over the years, I've learned that this doesn't just apply to those on stage. Each of us has a song inside us a talent, a passion, something that makes you feel alive. And our mission, our greatest responsibility, is to listen to this music and let it guide our lives. Today, what I want to say to you is: don't give up. No matter how many times you fall, get up. It doesn't matter if the world seems too big for your dream, because your passion will always be bigger. And most of all, be true to yourself. It's easy to be consumed by the desire to please others, but true happiness comes when you allow yourself to be who you are, with all your flaws and uniqueness.
The School of Montaigne in Early Modern Europe
The first volume of a major two-volume study centers on the fortunes of Michel de Montaigne's Essais in both the early-modern (1580-1725) and the modern period (1900-2000). This volume examines how the Essais made Montaigne a patron-author or instant classic in the eyes of his peers.
Machiavelli in the Spanish-Speaking Atlantic World, 1880-1940
Combining historiography and political theory, this book compares different strands of Machiavelli's reception in South and North America, and between Hispanic America and Spain. It provides new insight into Machiavelli's writings and how they have been read in different contexts. The book analyses these readings focusing on some specific themes including: the relationship between politics and morals; the links between political power and freedom; debates about political realism; reflections on liberalism and republicanism; and conceptions of time and history. The book argues that Machiavelli had a significant impact on both liberal and anti-liberal authors from Argentina and Spain. For liberals, he represented a synonym of tyranny but also, in opposite way, he had offered a synthesis between republicanism and liberalism. For anti-liberals, he was associated with Modernity and liberalism.
Against the Backdrop of Sovereignty and Absolutism
With a foreword by Diego Quaglioni This book attempts to determine the degree to which the modern fate of the Western legal tradition depends on one of the most long-standing debates of the Middle Ages, the distinction between potentia Dei absoluta and ordinata (God’s absolute and ordered power). The mediaeval investigation into God’s attributes was originally concerned with the problem of divine almightiness. It underwent a slow but steady displacement from the territory of theology to the freshly emerging proceedings of legal analysis. Here, based on the distinction, late-mediaeval lawyers worked out a new terminology to define the extent of the power-holder’s authority. This effort would give rise, during the early modern era, to the gradual establishment of the legal-political framework represented by the concepts of the prince and sovereignty.
