The aim of the present volume is to discuss the notion of constitution from the perspectives of history of political thought. Its scholarly intention is to go beyond the approach concentrating on the formal understanding of constitution and bring forward more complex historical and philosophic-political interpretations. Our point of departure was the need to revive the somehow neglected distinction between the idea of constitution as an act of conscious law-giving activity and the notion of constitution conceived as the set of fundamental political rules derived from the very nature of political regime and its historical development.

This book, now available in paperback, studies the patriarchalist theories of Sir Robert Filmer (1588-1653) in the context of early modern English and European political cultures. Making use of unexplored primary material and adopting an innovative contextual approach, Cuttica provides a long-overdue account of an often referred-to but largely misunderstood thinker. By focusing on Filmer's most important writing, Patriarcha (written in the 1620s-30s but published in 1680), this monograph rethinks some crucial issues in the reading of political history in the seventeenth century. Most importantly, it invites new reflections on the theory of patriarchalism and gives novel insights into the place of patriotism in the development of English political discourse and identity.Thanks to its originality in both approach and content, this volume will be of interest to historians of early modern England as well as scholars of political thought.

Teoria politica è stata fondata presso l'Università di Torino nel 1985 dagli allievi di Norberto Bobbio, con il programma di favorire il dialogo sui problemi politici tra studiosi di differenti prospettive scientifiche. Nel 2011 ha inaugurato una Nuova Serie, pubblicata dall’editore internazionale Marcial Pons, trasformandosi in una rivista annuale e multilingue e mantenendo lo sguardo pluridisciplinare sui temi classici e contemporanei della discussione politica. Gli Annali di Teoria politica offrono due sezioni tematiche completate da una sezione di saggi e una di rassegna di studi.
