Through a focused and systematic examination of late medieval
scholastic writers - theologians, philosophers and jurists - Joseph
Canning explores how ideas about power and legitimate authority
were developed over the 'long fourteenth century'. The author
provides a new model for understanding late medieval political
thought, taking full account of the intensive engagement with
political reality characteristic of writers in this period. He
argues that they used Aristotelian and Augustinian ideas to develop
radically new approaches to power and authority, especially in
response to political and religious crises. The book examines the
disputes between King Philip IV of France and Pope Boniface VIII
and draws upon the writings of Dante Alighieri, Marsilius of Padua,
William of Ockham, Bartolus, Baldus and John Wyclif to demonstrate
the variety of forms of discourse used in the period. It focuses on
the most fundamental problem in the history of political thought -
where does legitimate authority lie?
