Harro Hoepfl presents here a full-length study of the single most
influential organized 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. Hoepfl 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.
