Monarchisms in the Age of Enlightenment aims to correct this imbalance by illustrating that many thinkers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, in fact, saw monarchy as a solution to the instability, chaos, and even violence of experiments with republican government.Editors Hans Blom, John Christian Laursen, and Luisa Simonutti have brought together outstanding scholars in the field to correct many of the misleading stereotypes about monarchy, and to explore the variety and dynamism of this form of government, in early-modern Europe. Contributors explore four major themes: monarchisms in the political thought of Spinoza, Bayle, Fénelon, Hume, and Montesquieu; enlightened Christian and millenarian monarchisms; defending and resisting absolute monarchy; and, finally, reflections on the British monarchy.Fascinating and timely, Monarchisms in the Age of Enlightenment will be of interest to historians, political theorists, political philosophers, and political scientists. 410 0$aUCLA Clark Memorial Library series. 606 $aMonarchy$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aMonarchy$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aEnlightenment 607 $aEuropa (geografie)$2gtt 608 $aHistory. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMonarchy$xHistory 615 0$aMonarchy$xHistory 615 0$aEnlightenment. 676 $a321.6/09033 702 $aBlom$b H.W$g(Hans Willem),$f1947- 702 $aLaursen$b John Christian 702 $aSimonutti$b Luisa 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780676403321 996 $aMonarchisms in the age of enlightenment$93725928 997 $aUNINA
