Democracy and Bellarmine

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Democracy and Bellarmine' is an insightful examination of the influence of St. Robert Bellarmine's political thought on the development of modern democratic principles. Rev. John C. Rager explores the thesis that the foundational ideals of the United States government share a significant intellectual lineage with the teachings of the 16th-century Jesuit cardinal. By analyzing Bellarmine's writings on the source of political power, the work demonstrates how his rejection of the divine right of kings and his advocacy for popular sovereignty laid the groundwork for contemporary constitutional theory.
