  • Jeremy Waldron and the Religious Turn in Locke Scholarship

    Open AccessPaul E SigmundARTICLEThe Review of Politics2005Cited by: 20References: 13

    The title,God, Locke, and Equality, as well as its controversial thesis about the necessity of a theological foundation for equality are designed to startle and provoke. Yet those who have kept up with Locke scholarship (not an easy job since there are 5–10 new books on Locke each year, and over 9000 articles have been published about his work) will recognize that in recent years, its topic, the relation of Locke's religious beliefs to his politi…

My article maintainedthat “to a considerable degree” the Chilean military has “returned to their earlier tradition ofprofessionalism, legalism and constitutionalism ” (Sigmund, 2003: 249). It criticized Brian Loveman ’sdescription of Chile as a “protected democracy” (Sigmund, 2003: 246), and Professor Weeks’claim that if the Chilean military ’s “salient interests ” are threa…

  • The Cambridge Companion to Aquinas

    Open AccessJan A Aertsen, Cóilín Owens et al.BOOKThe Cambridge companion to Aquinas1993

    Among the great philosophers of the Middle Ages Aquinas is unique in pursuing two apparently disparate projects. On the one hand he developed a philosophical understanding of Christian doctrine in a fully integrated system encompassing all natural and supernatural reality. On the other hand, he was convinced that Aristotle's philosophy afforded the best available philosophical component of such a system. In a relatively brief career Aquinas devel…

  • Christianity and violence: The case of liberation theology

    Paul E SigmundARTICLETerrorism and Political Violence1991Cited by: 1

    In the late 1960s a form of Christian radicalism known as liberation theology emerged in Latin America that argued that Latin America's ills were caused by dependent capitalism, and that Latin America could be liberated only by a socialist revolution. The theory of liberation theology had a direct impact on Central America in the 1970s since it justified the alliance of Christians and Marxists in attempting to overthrow repressive regimes in Nica…

  • The Catholic Tradition and Modern Democracy

    Open AccessPaul E SigmundARTICLEThe Review of Politics1987Cited by: 5

    This article argues that there has been a movement in Catholic political thought from a position of doctrinal neutrality concerning forms of government — provided that they promote the common good — to an endorsement of democracy as the morally superior form of government. It traces the various theoretical and practical elements in the Catholic tradition that have favored or opposed liberal democracy, giving particular attention to the ambiguity …

    This article traces the moral and political role of the Catholic Church in Chile from the colonial period, through the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, to the upheavals of the last 25 years. During the last period, conservative, reformist, revolutionary, and counterrevolutionary governments succeeded one another in power, and each sought legitimation—or at least cooperation—from the church. A pattern of increasing pluralism is traced fro…
