Calvinism and the Making of the European Mind
Calvinism and the Making of the European Mind traces the interplay between Calvinism’s transformative spirituality and the rise of modern Europe. How did the Reformed tradition affect the sciences, economic practices, views on religious toleration and the constitution of European polities?
Instruments of the Divinity: Providence and praxis in the foundations of the Society of Jesus
Calvin, the Reformed Tradition and Modern Culture
The relationship between Calvinism and the emergence of constitutional, liberal, limited or democratic government remains as disputed as ever. More recently, interesting and innovative work has been done on the connection between reformed religion and the various European legal systems and traditions. A significant issue is the relationship between the reformed tradition and the visual arts in ecclesiastical and religious contexts. The level of c…
(Un)masking the Realities of Power: Justus Lipsius and the Dynamics of Political Writing in Early Modern Europe
If Justus Lipsius’s Politica of 1589 and its importance to the history of political thought needs no introduction, Lipsius's Monita et exempla politica (1605), conceived as a sequel to the Politica, has been overlooked time and again despite the fact that it is a unique key to understand the precise character of Lipsius's political thought. For, is his widely read political dialogue a Neostoic discourse or is it Tacitean, Machiavellian, or even a…
(Un)masking the realities of power: Justus Lipsius and the dynamics of political writing in early modern Europe
The Ideal of Aristocratia Politiae Vicina in the Calvinist Political Tradition
This is an examination of aristocracy as an orienting principle in Calvin's own political theory and ecclesiology, which goes on to consider its place in the Calvinist political tradition. For many reasons, political and theological, the chapter argues, Calvinist political tradition assumed an autonomous existence in the course of the seventeenth century so that it progressively bore less and less resemblance to anything found in Calvin.
Thomas Fitzherbert's reason of state
Thomas Fitzherbert's two-part Treatise concerning Policy and Religion (1606, 1610) was a rebuttal of unidentified Machiavellians, statists or politikes and their politics and policies. The work was apparently still well-regarded in the following century. Fitzherbert's objections to ‘statism’ were principally religious, and he himself thought the providentialist case against it unanswerable. But for those who did not share his convictions, he atte…

Post‐bureaucracy and Weber's “modern” bureaucrat
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide a re‐examination of the Weberian corpus. Design/methodology/approach Discusses the Weberian corpus and the discrepancies and lacunae in Weber's accounts. Outlines “Weberian” bureacracy in the post‐bureacracy literature, the use and utility of ideal types and the problems of ideal typifications. Findings The so‐called “Weberian ideal type” which is the standard reference point in bureaucracy versus p…
Jesuit Political Thought: The Society of Jesus and the State, c.1540–1630
Harro Höpfl presents here a full-length study of the single most influential organized group of scholars and pamphleteers in early modern Europe (1540–1630), namely the Jesuits. He explores the academic and political controversies in which they were engaged in and their contribution to academic discourse around ideas of 'the state' and 'politics'. He pays particular attention to their actual teaching concerning doctrines for whose menacing practi…

The Christian Polity of John Calvin
The Christian Polity of John Calvin
This book explores the relationship between Calvin's thought about civil and ecclesiastical order and his own circumstances and activities. The early chapters argue that in his pre-Genevan writings, including the first edition of the Institution, Calvin's political thinking was entirely conventional; his subsequent thought and conduct were not an implementation of previously formulated ideas. Later chapters examine whether and to what extent Calv…
