Algernon Sidney

    Algernon Sidney byl anglický republikánský politický myslitel, jehož dílo položilo základy západního myšlení. Ve své nejznámější práci, Discourses Concerning Government, Sidney zpochybnil teorii božského práva králů a navrhl koncepty omezené vlády a práva občanů měnit či zrušit zkorumpovanou vládu. Jeho myšlenky, které silně ovlivnily vznik Spojených států, byly označeny za „učebnici americké revoluce.“ Sidney byl za své názory popraven, ale jeho odkaz jako vlasteneckého hrdiny a mučedníka přetrval.

      The dialogue structure of Court Maxims offers a dynamic exploration of government principles and political practices, reflecting Algernon Sidney's radical republican ideals during his exile. This recently rediscovered manuscript, written before his execution in 1683 for opposing Charles II, provides crucial insights into the international dimensions of 17th-century republican thought. Its vivid discussions contribute significantly to understanding the republican tradition amidst the backdrop of absolutism, making it an essential text for scholars of early modern political theory.
