Political Theories of the Middle Age, written by Otto Gierke and first published in 1900, is a comprehensive analysis of the political theories that emerged during the Middle Ages in Europe. Gierke explores the political and legal systems of medieval Europe, examining the ideas and concepts that shaped them, and the impact they had on the development of modern political thought.The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the political theories of the medieval period, including the ideas of St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, and other influential thinkers. Gierke examines the concept of sovereignty, the role of the state, and the relationship between the individual and the state.The second part of the book looks at the legal systems of medieval Europe, including the development of customary law, the role of the church in legal matters, and the emergence of the modern legal profession. Gierke also explores the concept of natural law, which was a central idea in medieval legal theory.Throughout the book, Gierke provides detailed analysis and historical context for the ideas and theories he discusses. He also draws connections between medieval political thought and modern political philosophy, showing how the ideas of the past continue to influence contemporary political thinking.Overall, Political Theories of the Middle Age is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of political thought, medieval history, or the development of modern political institutions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
