<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>As Cary J. Nederman writes in the foreword to this new edition, "Marsilius continues to speak to many of the salient issues of modern political life, expressing his doctrines in a language that has resonance and relevance. Whether in addressing the role of citizenship as a buffer between individual and community, or in explicating the foundations of religious toleration, the <i>Defensor pacis</i> (and Marsilius' other writings) affords a distinctive theoretical perspective that rivals that of any of the great thinkers of the Western political tradition."</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Marsilius of Padua is one of the few truly revolutionary figures in the history of political philosophy. The first to propound the separation of Church and State, he is considered the precursor to subsequent political thinkers, from Machiavelli to Marx.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Alan Gewirth is Edward Carson Waller Distinguished Service Professor of Philosophy at the University of Chicago. <p/>Cary J. Nederman is professor of political science at Texas A & M University.
