Showcasing texts by Portuguese and Luso-Brazilian authors, this
volume demonstrates the wealth of the political thought of early
modern Portugal and its empire. Gathering together important texts
on social order, government, and politics by authors who made a
significant contribution to the development of early modern
Portugal, it demonstrates that Portugal was the setting for vibrant
political debate, often shaped by, and emerging in response to,
very particular assumptions, circumstances, and concerns. Combining
a chronological approach with in-depth thematic sections, the book
explores how some controversies that took place in Portugal centred
on themes similar to those in other European countries, while
others were linked to the specific nature and history of the
Portuguese monarchy and its interactions with other polities. It
thus offers an overview of the main debates on politics and
government and contributes to a more nuanced understanding of the
multifaceted history of European political ideas.
