Seventeenth-Century Political and Philosophical Thought Political Theory and Influence Political Theology and Sovereignty

Abstract

A key work in the history of political thought, Figgis's book revived the subject of the divine right of kings after it had been effectively destroyed by Locke in the seventeenth century. It displays his astonishingly wide reading and his, at the time, ground-breaking method of stressing the importance of historical setting. Many of his propositions proved seminal and were further developed by others.This, the second edition, includes three additional essays.
