Funded Activity Summary

Law, state sovereignty and religious terror: renewing the relevance of early modern political jurisprudence. Modern political thought has lost touch with early modern political jurisprudence. Premised on this hypothesis, the project reconstructs the historical role of political jurisprudence as the discipline that conferred legitimacy on the sovereign state under the rule of law, the great invention to end religious war. As a vital instrument of peaceful coexistence among Europe's warring faiths, this early modern discipline is directly relevant to today's renewed concerns with public security against religious terror. The project will both recover the relevance of political jurisprudence, and provide a major historical corrective to anti-juridical and anti-statist research agendas.
