The political ideas of Francesc Eiximenis
The Franciscan Francesc Eiximenis (1327?-1409) was above all a preacher intent on
dealing with all the issues a Christian can encounter. His work, written in Catalan, is
intended mainly for the urban elites of Valencia. He sought to produce the last great
medieval summary, as well as several treatises, which are as much sermons to be
read, as a confluence of Franciscan legacy, scholarly tradition and Iberian thought.
He is only interested in society because it is the framework within which men can
find salvation. Drawing on Aristotelian sources, he regards power as an office and
follows his master’s developments, but he shows his own originality in defining
the legitimacy of power. He believes there is a pact between the sovereign and his
subjects, who delegate their powers to him. As long as the sovereign respects this
pact, his power is legitimate; should he not, he ceases to be legitimate and can or
must be deposed. He also applies this vision to the town, whose role he rehabilitates
and whose most indispensable individuals – the merchants – he exalts. |
