Absolute Monarchies

Hard

(Originais Teachy 2024) - Question Hard of History

During the absolutism period, European monarchs consolidated power in their hands, often justifying their actions with the concept of the 'divine right of kings', which advocated the idea that monarchical authority was of divine origin and could not be questioned. Meanwhile, philosophers like John Locke, in his work 'Two Treatises of Government', proposed a conception of political power based on the consent of the governed and the existence of natural rights. Considering the historical context and the following excerpt from John Locke - 'Men live together in society with several purposes, and, albeit they dissimulate it, all their purposes tend towards security, peace, common defense. For the attainment of these ends, they cede part of their natural liberty' - (Locke, John. Two Treatises of Government. Second Treatise, Chapter VIII, Paragraph 107), analyze and discuss: 1) In what ways did the absolutist ideology reflect and influence the social and political structures of 17th-century Europe? 2) To what extent did the thought of John Locke and other Enlightenment philosophers challenge the principles of absolutism and how did their ideas contribute to the formation of new political and social foundations in modern Europe?

During the Late Antiquity period, the Western Roman Empire faced a series of challenges that culminated in its fall, leaving a legacy of conflicts and transformations for the medieval period. Contemporary historians point out that the complex relationship with the barbarian peoples not only reflected the military and economic pressure on the empire but also evidenced the social and cultural transformation that accompanied the expansion of Christianity. In 'The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire,' Edward Gibbon highlights: 'the introduction of Christianity had ambiguous effects on Roman life and was one of the main causes of the Empire's decline.' Considering the presented context and the interdisciplinarity between History and Philosophy, and reflecting on the influence of Christian thought in Western Roman society and the determining factors for the empire's fall, analyze the following excerpt from Saint Augustine, one of the main exponents of Christian thought at the time: 'The City of God must oppose the City of Men, and what is praiseworthy in the city opposes what is condemnable in the City of Men.' Based on Augustinian thought and historical knowledge about the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, discuss how the advancement of Christianity and Augustine's dualistic interpretation contributed to the perception of crisis within Roman society and to the redefinition of cultural and territorial boundaries in the transition period to the Middle Ages.
