166 books28 followers
Jean Bodin (1530–1596) was a French jurist and political philosopher, member of the Parlement of Paris and professor of law in Toulouse. He is best known for his theory of sovereignty; he was also an influential writer on demonology.
Bodin lived during the aftermath of the Protestant Reformation and wrote against the background of religious conflict in France. He remained a nominal Catholic throughout his life but was critical of papal authority over governments, favouring the strong central control of a national monarchy as an antidote to factional strife. Toward the end of his life he wrote, but did not publish, a dialogue among different religions, including representatives of Judaism, Islam and natural theology, in which all agreed to coexist in concord.

Jean Bodin (1530-1596) était un juriste et philosophe politique français, membre du Parlement de Paris et professeur de droit à Toulouse. Il est surtout connu pour sa théorie de la souveraineté; il était également un écrivain influent sur la démonologie.
Bodin a vécu au lendemain de la Réforme protestante et a écrit dans le contexte du conflit religieux en France. Il resta un catholique nominal tout au long de sa vie mais critiqua l'autorité papale sur les gouvernements, favorisant le contrôle central fort d'une monarchie nationale comme antidote aux conflits entre factions. Vers la fin de sa vie, il a écrit, mais n'a pas publié, un dialogue entre différentes religions, y compris des représentants du judaïsme, de l'islam et de la théologie naturelle, dans lequel tous ont accepté de coexister dans la concorde.

Un clásico de la teoría política, donde Bodin expone de forma magistral su teoría acerca de la soberanía y ofrece consejos sobre la forma correcta de llevar las riendas del Estado.

"No hay mejor medio para conservar la grandeza de un Estado que dejar que sus vecinos se aniquilen entre sí. La grandeza de un príncipe depende de la ruina y decadencia de sus vecinos; es fuerte en la medida en que los demás son débiles".
