Should we consider Erasmus an involved or public intellectual alongside figures such as Machiavelli, Milton, Locke, Voltaire, and Montesquieu? Was Erasmus really an independent intellectual? In Ron's estimation, Erasmus did not fully live up to his professed principles of Christian peace. Despite the anti-war preaching so eminent in his writings, he made no stand against the warlike and expansionist foreign policies of specific European kings of his era, and even praised the glory won by Francis I on the battlefield of Marignano (1515). Furthermore, in the face of Henry VIII's execution of his beloved Thomas More and John Fisher, and the atrocities committed by the Spanish against indigenous peoples in the New World, Erasmus preferred self-censorship to expressions of protest or criticism and did not step forward to reproach kings of their misdeeds or crimes. Nathan Ron is Research Fellow at the School of History, The University of Haifa, Israel. 410 0$aPalgrave pivot. 606 $aEurope$xHistory$x1492- 606 $aReligion$xHistory 606 $aIntellectual life$xHistory 606 $aHistory of Early Modern Europe 606 $aHistory of Religion 606 $aIntellectual History 615 0$aEurope$xHistory$x1492-. 615 0$aReligion$xHistory. 615 0$aIntellectual life$xHistory. 615 14$aHistory of Early Modern Europe. 615 24$aHistory of Religion. 615 24$aIntellectual History. 676 $a199.492 676 $a199.492 700 $aRon$b Nathan$0854053 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495239603321 996 $aErasmus$91907126 997 $aUNINA
