He explores the academic and political controversies in which they were engaged in and their contribution to academic discourse around ideas of 'the state' and 'politics'. He pays particular attention to their actual teaching concerning doctrines for whose menacing practical implications Jesuits generally were vilified: notably tyrannicide, the papal power to depose rulers, the legitimacy of 'Machiavellian' policies in dealing with heretics and the justifiability of breaking faith with heretics. Höpfl further explores the paradox of the Jesuits' political activities being at once the subject of conspiratorial fantasies but at the same time being widely acknowledged as among the foremost intellects of their time, with their thought freely cited and appropriated. This is an important work of scholarship.Ideas in context ;70.Church and stateCatholic ChurchHistory16th centuryChurch and stateCatholic ChurchHistory17th centuryChurch and stateCatholic ChurchHistoryChurch and stateCatholic ChurchHistory320/.01Höpfl Harro151888UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910457718003321Jesuit political thought1236967UNINA
