Document Summary

Marsilius of padua: natural question to be asked: how is he the first modern political theorist, theological writer, secular view of politics/he is seen as a modern thinker because: Politics should be seen as its own thing, not as a branch of christian theology: popular rule: The people or community together as a whole act as one unit politically. Unlike plato, marsilius thinks that democracy is good: the law as artificial: Law as the product of human will. Cicero, aristotle, aquinas, suggest that law is somehow different than human choice, what really makes the law is whether or not a particular rule or requirement is consistent to derive from something beyond human control. But with marsilius, law isn"t something from nature, what makes law law is that it"s artificial, and that it"s the product of human will. For marsilius, what makes law is something like human will, so is there someone who has commanded it.
