Beschreibung
Robert Filmer's 'Patriarcha' is a seminal political work that delves into the concept of absolute monarchy, defending the divine right of kings to rule over their subjects. Written in the 17th century, Filmer's treatise presents a counterpoint to the emerging ideas of popular sovereignty and constitutionalism. Through a series of historical and biblical arguments, Filmer asserts that political power is inherited through paternal lineage, advocating for a hierarchical social structure where the monarch's authority is unquestioned. His writing style is methodical and persuasive, making 'Patriarcha' a compelling read for those interested in the political thought of the early modern era. Filmer's work is considered a precursor to later defenses of royal absolutism. It reflects the political tensions of his time, as England navigated through the upheaval of civil war and struggles between the monarchy and parliament. 'Patriarcha' is a must-read for students of political theory and history, offering valuable insights into the debates surrounding monarchy and sovereignty in the 17th century.
