European Political Thought, 1600-1700

Trama

The European seventeenth century saw the seeming resolution of two great conflicts. Through the nightmares of the Thirty Years War and the British civil wars, the murderous religious hatreds that had dominated the previous period finally burnt themselves out. Through the growing power of the centralized state, monarchs seemed to be able (with striking exceptions) to hold the reins to even greater power at the cost of semi-democratic institutions.
