The problem of sovereignty in the later Middle Ages : the Papal monarchy with Augustinus Triumphus and the publicists

Summary:	"Sovereignty has always been an important concept in political thought, and at no time in European history was it more important than during the perplexed conditions of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Universal government was a fading dream, giving way to the new conception of the national state and the whole basis of political thought was being reoriented by the influx of Aristotelian ideas. Dr. Wilks's book is an attempt to clarify the more important problems in the political outlook of the period. He shows us that at this time the theologians and literary writers, especially Augustinus Triumphus of Ancona, had built up a complete theory of sovereignty in favour of the papal monarchy, based on a neo-Platonic, Augustinian view of the church as a universal and totalitarian state. The rediscovery of Aristotle's works and the revival of Roman law, however, brought forward opposing views: the radicals advanced the idea of a secularized, individualistic society and the notion of following popular sovereignty; the moderates, on the other hand, following the principles of Thomas Aquinas, sought merely to modify the papal theory by subjecting the ruler to natural law and reducing the political character of the church in order to admit the limited competence of the lay state in its own right. Dr. Wilks shows how these Thomistic principles were responsible for the gradual destruction of the Augustinian concept of society and papal sovereignty. He also discusses the political importance of the disputes over universals, the relationship between papacy and the episcopal opposition, the growth of the national sovereign state, and the development of a complete conciliar theory some fifty years before the Great Schism of 1378"--  Read more...
