About this Item

pp. 535-565. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of the ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Cover a bit light-margined, author's name underlined on cover, otherwise very clean. - From the text: The long years from the death of Augustine to the rediscovery of Aristotle in the West witnessed the development of Roman Law, the Gelasian theory of temporal and spiritual power, the theory of medieval monarchy as found in people like John of Salisbury, and the establishment of the feudal structure itself. Likewise, the establishment and growth of the religious orders created a new type of organization which was to provide many ideas for civil political practice. From the standpoint of political theory, these years are not of major significance when compared to the Greek, Augustinian, or the great scholastic theories. Nevertheless, the development of the feudal pattern with its ever growing confusion between the realm of the spiritual and the realm of the temporal emphasized a problem of great significance for political theory. - Wikipedia: James Vincent Schall SJ (January 20, 1928 April 17, 2019) was an American Jesuit Roman Catholic priest, teacher, writer, and philosopher.
