Rejecting the modern ideals of neutrality and tolerance, Keckermann envisions \u003cstrong\u003ea Christian polity\u003c\/strong\u003e where law and princely example form a virtuous and pious people. Civil power directs all private and public life to splendor, discipline, and the perfection of the state, where \u003cstrong\u003egreat men\u003c\/strong\u003e of heroic virtue lead the nation to greatness. What moderns dismiss as \"totalitarian,\" \"authoritarian,\" or \"fascist\" is, in truth, the \u003cstrong\u003eancient wisdom of Christendom.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmong the subjects covered: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe nature and end of political society\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe origin and purpose of political power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe education, virtues, and majesty of the prince\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCounsel, law, and administration of justice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDefense, punishment, and the care of the realm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReligion as the perfection of the polity and the prince's care\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe heroic character and duty of rulers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 496\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.35 x 10 x 7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 06, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47348597031161,"sku":"9781967584055","price":82.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/aLraryJt8b9781967584055.webp?v=1769774896","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/system-of-political-discipline-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
