/lit/ - Literature

Oh and by medieval, I don't mean Augustine of Hippo, though he's good to read in between Aristotle and Machiavelli since that's the vision of the ideal polis which Machiavelli rejects
(btw Aquinas is only relevant when he's rediscovered in the 19th century Christian revival)

By 'medieval political theory', I mean how the medievals understood the ancients, or rather how the bourgeoisie understood how they thought the medievals understood the ancients. And by that, I just mean feudalism, which was a category of disparagement to describe what the radicals thought was backwards.
