The reader will find a fundamental political treatise of the 17th century that aspires to build a science of government based on the Holy Scriptures. Against what the author calls the dominant \"satanic politics,\" an alternative model is proposed that guarantees freedom of conscience, fosters virtue and justice, and prioritizes personal merit over lineage. It is a key work for understanding the political and religious thought of Baroque Spain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eAngelic Politics\u003c\/em\u003e is a set of five dialogues that constitute an authentic political summa. In them, Antonio Enríquez Gómez develops an ambitious design for a science of government. The author contrasts two political models: satanic politics, which he identifies with the corrupt and oppressive power practices of his time, and angelic politics, an ideal of government inspired directly by the Holy Scriptures. Through this confrontation, the work explores how a just State should be structured to guarantee freedom of conscience, promote civic virtue, administer justice with mercy, and value merit above blood or social origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePolitical philosophy of the Spanish Golden Age.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCritique of raison d'état and the corruption of power.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eBiblical foundation of government and authority.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDefense of freedom of conscience as a fundamental right.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePersonal merit versus inherited nobility as the basis for social justice.\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, students, and readers interested in the history of political thought, Golden Age philosophy, studies on dialogue literature, and Judeo-converso thought in early modern Spain.

Enríquez Gómez's work, with its proposal for a government founded on Scripture and the defense of freedom of conscience, offers a singular perspective often marginalized by traditional historiography. Its value lies both in the quality of the recovered text and in the pertinence of its reflections on justice, merit, and power, which remain of great interest to the specialized reader.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UNIVERSIDAD DE HUELVA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53405841686875,"sku":"9788417776602","price":23.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0650\/6331\/files\/978841777660.jpg?v=1781832951","url":"https:\/\/kalamobooks.com\/en\/products\/9788417776602","provider":"Kalamo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
