In contrast to the satanic politics he denounces, the author proposes a model based on cultural syncretism, freedom of conscience, and meritocracy. The edition is based on a unique copy, making it an indispensable tool for understanding the complexities of 17th-century political and religious thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAntonio Enríquez Gómez, persecuted by the Inquisition as a Judaizer, conceived \u003ci\u003eAngelic Politics\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003ePolítica angélica\u003c\/i\u003e) during his exile in Rouen in 1647. Seven copies of this work in five dialogues are preserved, along with a single copy of another edition in three dialogues, which is the one presented in this critical edition. In the treatise, the author from Cuenca contrasts an angelic politics, built on syncretism and cultural contamination, against the satanic politics that he claims dominates the world. This proposal defends freedom of conscience, virtue, justice, and mercy, prioritizing personal merit over lineage. Furthermore, it includes a condemnation of inquisitorial practices and a proposal for the reform of the Holy Office so that it may fulfill its foundational purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eBaroque political thought and political satire.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCritique of the Inquisition and defense of freedom of conscience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCultural and religious syncretism in 17th-century Spain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMeritocracy as a model of social organization versus lineage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCritical edition of a fundamental text for the history of Sephardic thought.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at researchers and students of Early Modern History, Golden Age Literature, Biblical Studies, and Exegesis, as well as readers interested in heterodox political thought, Sephardic culture, and inquisitorial processes.
