The Hebrew republic: Jewish sources and the transformation of European political thought
Includes bibliographical references and index
| Σύνοψη: | Includes bibliographical references and index "According to a commonplace narrative, the rise of modern political thought in the West resulted from secularization - the exclusion of religious arguments from political discourse. But in this work Eric Nelson argues that this familiar story is wrong. Instead, he contends, political thought in early-modern Europe became less, not more, secular with time, and it was the Christian encounter with Hebrew sources that provoked this radical transformation."--BOOK JACKET |
