The problem of the relationship between moral principles and
political necessity, of the purposes of power and the justice of
means, has always been a central theme in European history. The
ministry of Cardinal Richelieu is a focal point for the problem
because it existed during a time when the continuing strength of
religiously based political ideas and the growth of the modern
state converged. In this major study William F. Church examines
Richelieu's policies, his efforts to justify them, and the
extensive debates they occasioned. His conclusion, contrary to that
of many earlier historians, is that the underlying ideology of the
Cardinal's policies was strongly religious and opened the way to
secularized reason of state to a very limited degree. Originally
published in 1973. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
