Description

Maurizio Viroli, a leading historian of republican political thought, challenges the assumption that religion and liberty are inherently opposed. This Princeton University Press study argues that political emancipation and the defence of political liberty have historically depended on the self-sacrifice of people with religious sentiments and a religious devotion to liberty. Particularly when authoritarianism threatens freedom, Viroli demonstrates that the most committed defenders of liberty are those who bring religious conviction to their cause. The book reframes the relationship between faith and freedom, showing how religious devotion to republican principles has strengthened democratic resistance throughout Italian history and beyond, offering vital insights into how societies sustain liberty against authoritarian forces.

Key Features

Maurizio Viroli examines the historical relationship between religion and political liberty in Italy with scholarly depth and nuance.

Princeton University Press presents arguments that challenge conventional wisdom about religion's role in democratic and republican governance.

The book demonstrates how religious sentiment has motivated historical defenders of liberty against authoritarianism and state oppression.

Viroli's analysis of republican political thought offers essential context for understanding modern debates about faith, freedom and democracy.
