Inhaltsangabe

Bartholomew Keckermann's System of Political Discipline (1607) is a masterful work which sets forth a complete system of political rule grounded in virtue, hierarchy, and the common good. Rejecting the modern ideals of neutrality and tolerance, Keckermann envisions a Christian polity where law and princely example form a virtuous and pious people. Civil power directs all private and public life to splendor, discipline, and the perfection of the state, where great men of heroic virtue lead the nation to greatness. What moderns dismiss as "totalitarian," "authoritarian," or "fascist" is, in truth, the ancient wisdom of Christendom. Among the subjects covered: The nature and end of political society The origin and purpose of political power The education, virtues, and majesty of the prince Counsel, law, and administration of justice Defense, punishment, and the care of the realm Religion as the perfection of the polity and the prince's care The heroic character and duty of rulers
