Robert Filmer’s ‘Patriarcha’ is a seminal work in political philosophy, asserting the divine right of kings and challenging the emerging ideas of social contract theory. Written in a clear and persuasive style, Filmer defends the authority of monarchs as directly appointed by God, drawing on biblical and historical sources to support his arguments. This book provides a valuable insight into the political debates of 17th-century England, laying the groundwork for future discussions on the nature of government and the role of rulers in society. Filmer’s writing is both scholarly and accessible, making ‘Patriarcha’ essential reading for anyone interested in the history of political thought. Engage with Filmer’s ideas and engage with the foundational texts that shaped modern political theory. Scholars of political philosophy will appreciate the depth and clarity of Filmer’s arguments, while students and general readers will find ‘Patriarcha’ to be a thought-provoking exploration of absolute monarchy and political authority.
