Baxter: A Holy Commonwealth
ISBN: 9780521405805 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A Holy Commonwealth was written in 1659 by the Puritan minister Richard Baxter (1615-91), and is a candid confession as to why a conservative Puritan fought for Parliament in the Civil War and gave his support to the Cromwells. Baxter publicly repudiated the work in 1670, and in 1683 the Oxford University authorities ordered it to be part of a book-burning that included the works of Hobbes and Milton. This modern edition makes available the work's unique perspective on the relation between Church and magistrate and the origins of the English Civil War.

ISBN: 9781403935571 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 263 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

This volume examines the ways in which the authors of the early Frankfurt School criticized, adopted and modified traditional forms of religious thought and practice.

Price is noteworthy as a defender of freedom of thought (especially on religious matters), as a proponent of parliamentary reform, and as an advocate of a minimalist...

Bodin: On Sovereignty
ISBN: 9780521349925 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This volume contains the essential points of Jean Bodin's theory of sovereignty, a landmark in legal theory and royalist ideology. The four chapters presented form the core of Bodin's classic work, Six Livres de la Republique. Bodin was primarily responsible for introducing the seductive but erroneous notion that sovereignty is indivisible, that the entire power of the state had to be vested in a single individual or group. This thesis, combined with the prevailing crisis of authority during the French religious wars, led Bodin to a systematically absolutist interpretation of the French and...
