Power, Republicanism, and Scholastic Thought (Dr Ben Slingo)

How did early modern scholastic theologians understand political power? What does it mean to speak of scholastic republicanism? And in what ways are these theologians suggestive for thinking about politics today? These are some of the questions we discussed with Dr Ben Slingo - a Junior Research Fellow at Clare College, Cambridge - who is currently working on a book manuscript entitled Scholastic Republicanism.
