Description
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 societyThe origin and purpose of political powerThe education, virtues, and majesty of the princeCounsel, law, and administration of justiceDefense, punishment, and the care of the realmReligion as the perfection of the polity and the prince's careThe heroic character and duty of rulers
