- PublicationOpen AccessSaavedra fajardo, en los multiples espejos d ela política barroca.(2015-09-23) González García, José M.This essay, inspired by Walter Benjamin's reflections on the spirit of German baroque drama, is centred on the two big metaphors of human life destined to produce an idea of «identity»: theatre and mirror. All of Saavedra Fajardo's work can be catalogued as producing «concepts for the eyes». The paradox of the Baroque period resides in that the identity-producing media make it possible due to the proliferation of images it generates.
- PublicationOpen AccessEl final de la edad media(2015-09-23) Villacañas Berlanga, José LuísThis essay wishes to explain the breakdown of Spanish normative conscience, settled in a mimetic use of history, recognised as magistra vitae, which offers the accredited behavioural models for the ruler at the same time that it deconstructs them from a precise conscience of their non-adaptation to the present. In this sense, Saavedra experiences in his time and in the political order the same methodical doubt Descartes experienced in the field of sciences. Nonetheless, his scepticism serves an eventual fideism that prevents him from stepping into Hobbes' constructivism and therefore commit to a modern model of sovereignty.
- PublicationOpen AccessEnyre la teoría y la practica de las razones de estado catolica: las últimas cortes de Felipe II(2015-09-23) Centenero de Arce, DomingoOne of Saavedra Fajardo's biggest worries was the impoverishment of Castile due to extremes, to sustaining far-away provinces such as Flanders. In this article, the author demonstrates that the questioning of Spain's foreign policy was already existent in the last courts of Castile, where mostly the group of city solicitors «that were unwell» supported a policy that would abandon or cancel war.
- PublicationOpen AccessLA RELEVANCIA DE LA DISIMULACION EN SAAVEDRA FAJARDO(2015-09-23) Grande Yañez, MiguelIn this article, deceit and concealment, the instruments of good and bad reason of State, are distinguished. Saavedra Fajardo doesn't go far from scholastic morals when he tolerates concealment and rejects deceit. Concealment appears linked to the Prince's operative care and to a humble or limited power. Hence fore, concealment can be finally defined as a humble or careful deceit.
- PublicationOpen AccessUna monarquía sin razón....de estado: Los escritos tardíos de Jean Boucher(2015-09-23) Ruiz Ibáñez, José JavierIn this work, the author presents an analysis of the writings of the French catholic theorist, defender of the alliance between the Spanish monarchy and the French monarchy, Jean Boucher, written in his years of exile in Flanders. The author shows as well that Boucher belonged to a time stratus characteristic of the old medieval theory of the king as sword at the disposal of the Church, exclusively legitimated by the church concession of his mission and directly -not indirectly- subjected to the spiritual power. In this way, the survival of this medieval understanding of the two swords until the beginning of modernity can be understood.
