Samenvatting
This book presents a radical reinterpretation of the great medieval thinker, Marsilius of Padua. George Garnett's iconoclastic re-reading of Marsilius's work - based on a careful attention to the texts - overturns the widely accepted view of him as a secular political theorist and proponent of republicanism, and re-establishes him in his proper historical context.
Marsilius of Padua is conventionally seen as a thinker ahead of his time: the first secular political theorist, and the first post-classical thinker to espouse republicanism. He is presented as a scholastic precursor of the republican humanists of the Renaissance. Starting with an examination of the neglected evidence for Marsilius's life, and the contemporary response to his best-known work, the Defensor Pacis, this new study argues that such an interpretation is quite wrong. It shows that Marsilius was not a republican, but an imperialist; and that far from being a secular political theorist, his great work Defensor Pacis is underpinned by a profound Christian understanding of history as a providentially ordained process.
