Harro Hopfl presents here the first full-length study of the single
most influential organised group of scholars and pamphleteers in
early modern Europe (1540-1630), namely the Jesuits. He explores
the academic and political controversies in which they were engaged
in and their contribution to academic discourse around ideas of
'the state' and 'politics'. He pays particular attention to their
actual teaching concerning doctrines for whose menacing practical
implications Jesuits generally were vilified: notably tyrannicide,
the papal power to depose rulers, the legitimacy of 'Machiavellian'
policies in dealing with heretics and the justifiability of
breaking faith with heretics. Hopfl further explores the paradox of
the Jesuits' political activities being at once the subject of
conspiratorial fantasies but at the same time being widely
acknowledged as among the foremost intellects of their time, with
their thought freely cited and appropriated. This is an important
work of scholarship.
