Recent work in political and social history, however, has shown that the state--at court, in the provinces, and in the parishes--depended on the authority of local magnates and the participation of what has been referred to as "the middling sort." This poses challenges to scholars seeking to describe how the state was understood by contemporaries of the period in light of the great classical and religious textual traditions of political thought. State and Commonwealth presents a new theory of state and society by expanding on the usual treatment of "commonwealth" in pre-Civil War English history. Drawing on works of theology, moral philosophy, and political theory--including Martin Bucer's De Regno Christi, Thomas Smith's De Republica Anglorum, John Case's Sphaera Civitatis, Francis Bacon's essays, and Thomas Hobbes's early works--Noah Dauber argues that the commonwealth ideal was less traditional than often thought. He shows how it incorporated new ideas about self-interest and new models of social order and stratification, and how the associated ideal of distributive justice pertained as much to the honors and offices of the state as to material wealth. Broad-ranging in scope, State and Commonwealth provides a more complete picture of the relationship between political and social theory in early modern England."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Political science $z Great Britain $x History $y 16th century. 650 0 $a Political science $z Great Britain $x History $y 17th century. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Politics and government $y 1558-1603. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Politics and government $y 1603-1649. 650 0 $a State, The. 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE $x History & Theory. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Political science. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069781 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a State, The. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01131943 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 648 7 $a 1500-1699 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20161103022133.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5BC32FEA8B8A11E6A6C758ADDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
