Political modernity and the origins of the State. Comparing experiences and disciplines (1350-1600), that took place in Naples during April 2018. It also includes a number of external contributions deemed in line with the spirit of the conference.
The works included in the volume describe the rich variety of intersecting traditions and specialist languages that, roughly between the fourteenth and seventeenth centuries, cross their paths during the great junction of modernity: from the juridical tradition to that of the arsdictaminis, to the humanities of the Reinassance and post-Reinassance period, all nourished by classical thought, the book’s reflection invests the conceptual and discursive structures which - amid conflicts, contradictions and adaptations - combine to form the modern idea of the State. The "case study" of Aragonese Naples (1442-1503) demonstrates how this historically determined reality has represented an avant-garde laboratory of theEuropean ethical and socio-political modernity. The last section addresses, from a historical-critical and philosophical-political point of view, the challenges that the contemporary era poses to political modernity and doctrine, and perhaps even more so to the nature of the State itself. In the background, the volume suggests to explore a renewed approach to the conceptualization of politics and public behavior, starting with a reflection on European thought between the late Middle Ages and the early modern age.
