The main task of this book is to deliver an in-depth analysis of
the idea of the state in the reflection of Robert von Mohl
(1799-1875). This German liberal scholar and politician developed
comprehensive theory of the state, which combined both absolutist
and liberal trendencies. In the book, Von Mohl's political
philosophy is depicted against the backdrop of the sociopolitical
situation of German states in the nineteenth century.The main focus
of the book is one of von Mohl's most important intelectual
achievements, namely - the concept of Rechstaat. In conclusion, the
author draws similarities between various von Mohl's ideas and the
situation of contemporary legal institutions in Germany and Poland.
This is a book about impending catastrophe. The metaphorical insane
"run" ends with the outbreak of the First World War. The book
focuses on European culture of the late nineteenth century and the
Polish contribution to it. The word "dark" used to describe
modernity is understood as a metaphor of gradual and permanent
devaluation of the idea of progress, as a fading hope for the
future of Europe as bright, predictable, prosperous, and safe. The
"darkening" also receives a literal sense. At the end of the
nineteenth century, darkness found its way back to the public space
- in the theaters, panoramas, dioramas, and "love tunnels", which
awaited the visitors of American and European amusement parks.
This book reexamines the origins and growth of the medieval
inquisition which provided a framework for the large-scale
operations against religious dissidents. In the last quarter of the
twelfth century, the papacy launched concerted efforts to hunt out
heretics, mostly Cathars and Waldensians, and directed operations
against them all across Latin Christendom. The bull of Pope Lucius
III Ad abolendam of 1184 became a turning point in the formation of
the inquisitorial system which made both the clergy and the laity
responsible for suppressing any religious dissent. From a
comparative perspective, the study analyzes political, social and
religious developments which in the High Middle Ages gave birth to
the mechanism of repression and religious violence supervised by
the papacy and operated by bishops and, starting from the 1230s,
papal inquisitors, extraordinary judges delegate staffed mostly by
Dominican and Franciscan friars.
