Politica pdf epub mobi 著者簡介

Justus Lipsius, Joost Lips or Josse Lips (18 October 1547 — 23 March 1606), was a Flemish philologist and humanist. Lipsius wrote a series of works designed to revive ancient Stoicism in a form that would be compatible with Christianity. The most famous of these is De Constantia (On Constancy). His form of Stoicism influenced a number of contemporary thinkers, creating the intellectual movement of Neostoicism. He taught at the universities in Jena, Leiden and Leuven.

His ideas about the ideal citizen—a man that acts according to reason, is answerable to himself, is in control of his emotions, and is ready to fight—found wide acceptance in the turbulent times of the Reformation. This Lipsian view, translated to politics, entails rationalisation of the state and its apparatus of government, autocratic rule by the prince, discipline dispensed to subjects, and strong military defence. These principles lie at the foundation of the early modern state.

The conflict between Morality and Realism in politics is as topical today as it ever was. Although its future among the most urgent and intriguing issues in political thought is guaranteed, discussing it in an open and systematic manner will doubtlessly continue to raise the same insurmountable problems as it always did. Justus Lipsius (1547–1606) sought to access the topic through the pages of ancient Greek and Roman literature, and his influence can be traced over almost two centuries. Although his text continues to offer many valuable viewpoints and considerations, and although it is much-discussed by scholars in the humanities today, no edition or modern translation has been available thus far, an omission this book hopes to correct.

The present project was started as a Ph.D. thesis at the University of Cambridge in 1995 and continued at the University of Amsterdam from 1996–2001. Its aim was and is to present an edition of the Politica with a new English translation, together with an introduction providing the background information necessary for an understanding of the text in relation to the historical background. Important new material presented in this book are the papers relating to the ‘process’ of the Politica with the Congregation for the Index found in the archives in the Sant’ Uffizio in Rome.
