This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1894 edition. Excerpt: ... PART II. THE POLITICAL THEORY OF THOMAS AQUINAS. CHAPTER I. PRELIMINARY. I. The Political Science of the Middle Ages has until very recently been left untouched. Different writers have studied the i nstitutions, laws, general literature and the natural science as found in the writings of that age; but few have thought it worth while to study the social and political theories, thinking the labor would not be repaid by its results. The more we investigate this so called barren fleid, the more rich do we find it in the materials for science. One philosopher in bidding adieu to the thorny and intricate pathway of the middle ages on turning towards the renascence of literature and the revival of science, does so in the rather quaint language of Martial;--'Turpe est difficile habere nugas, Et stultus labor est ineptiarum." "Tis a folly to sweat o'er a difficult trifle, And for silly devices invention to rifle." The age of trifles, inventions and speculations was as essential in the progress of thought as that of the positive scientific thinking. It Is not entirely a misfortune that Theology was the Science of Sciences in the Middle Ages, and that political science occupied only a secondary place in the scheme of knowledge. It was fitting that Christian thought which left in the background all purely philosophic systems and had brought the new civilization of humanity to bear upon ideal and semi-deistic conceptions of the world and man, should contribute its quota to the upbuilding of man's civil life. The Christian thinkers alone cared for knowledge in these dark ages, and if they threw their monastic spell over the thought of a freer political era, it was that it might be preserved in th3 shell of sacred tradition as the kernel of freedom to...
