First published in 1976. This study continues an endeavour whose aim was to use traditional concepts as a basis for the discussion of contemporary political predicaments. The endeavour began with the publication of the symposium In Defense of Sovereignty (1969). Its long-range goal is to consider under a common denominator—relativism in politics— various aspects of theory such as the basic concepts discussed in the present essay, together with more modern theories of democracy and the wider spectrum of political ideologies.

Politics and Religion in Seventeenth-Century France: A Study of Political Ideas from the Monarchomachs to Bayle, as Reflected in the Toleration Controversy explores the evolving and contested concept of toleration within the complex interplay of religion and politics during a pivotal era in French history. The book dissects how the term "toleration" held varied meanings, from philosophical ideals of true tolerance to legal and political expedients used by both Protestants and Catholics. It highlights how toleration was employed strategically by different factions, often serving as a facade for broader aims of achieving religious or political dominance.The study delves into the nuanced role of toleration as a contentious point in political theory and practice, emphasizing its connection to sovereignty and statecraft. By tracing the debate from early Calvinist resistance to Richelieu’s manipulative peace formula, it reveals a pragmatic use of toleration to preserve temporary peace while fostering underlying intolerance. Ultimately, the work provides a critical examination of how ideas of religious freedom and state sovereignty were shaped by doctrinal conflicts and political exigencies, offering insights into the broader development of toleration as a key principle in modern political thought.This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1960.

The French Calvinists or Huguenots entered the seventeenth century enjoying the rights grated to them as a religious minority by the Edict of Nantes. Within eighty years they were suffering brutal dragonnades, and by the end of the century Calvinism was almost exterminated: it would be nearly another hundred years before religious tolerance would be restored in France. In examining this critical period, whose bigotry cast a long shadow into the twentieth century, Dr. Stankiewicz throws into relief the vast body of seventeenth-century French political ideas. He is particularly interested in the relations between political thought and historic events. Analytical rather than descriptive, his book examines the problem of toleration on many levels; it contrasts ideology with policy, domestic affairs with international issues, religion with politics, and theory with practice. The author cuts through a complex mass of material to appraise the relation between toleration -- or tolerance or tolerationism, whichever the case may be -- party politics, and revolutionary action. Most of the text is based on seventeenth-century documents in French, Latin, and English. In discussing these writings, Dr. Stankiewicz sheds new light on the concept of sovereignty, on the theories of the social contract and the divine right of kinds, on the conflict between these two, and on the questions of obedience and the right to revolt. Contemporary implications can be seen in his discussion of Pierre Bayle -- the "Philosopher of Rotterdam." Stankiewicz writes that Bayle's arguments for tolerance can be used as a commentary on the modern political predicament. They touch on the ever-present problem of the peril of subversives and on the validity of the reasons given by vigilantes intent on suppressing dangerous elements. The passing of the era of intense religious persecution does not mean that humanity has progressed to a point of tolerance for dissident minorities, but that hostilities have largely been shifted from the religious to the political sphere.
