Die Frage nach dem Verhältnis von Recht, Politik und Religion gewinnt im Zeichen weltweiter politischer Konflikte, die auch eine religiöse Dimension haben, zusehends an Bedeutung und wird zum Gegenstand kontroverser wissenschaftlicher und öffentlicher Diskussion. Auf diesem Hintergrund kann es hilfreich sein, das Augenmerk auf jene Epoche deutscher und europäischer Geschichte zu lenken, in der angesichts konfessioneller und politischer Auseinandersetzungen die Frage nach dem Verhältnis von rechtlicher Ordnung, politischer Macht und kirchlich-religiösem Anspruch in drängender Weise thematisch wird. Damit ist eines der zentralen Probleme bezeichnet, das den Gegenstand eines Internationalen und Interdisziplinären Symposions bildete, das unter der Themenstellung "Jurisprudenz, Politische Theorie und Politische Theologie" vom 11. bis 14. Juni 2003 im Herborner Schloss stattgefunden hat.Die im Rahmen dieses Symposions gehaltenen Referate sind in dem vorliegenden Band aus der Sicht der Rechtswissenschaft, der Geschichts- und Politikwissenschaft, der Philosophie und der Theologie zusammengefasst. Das mehrdimensionale Spektrum der Beiträge spannt den Bogen von Fragen politisch-rechtlicher Gemeinschaftsbildung und ihren religiös-konfessionellen Bezügen über die vertragliche und naturrechtliche Herrschaftsbegründung und -begrenzung bis hin zum Verhältnis von Absolutismus und konstitutioneller Politik im Zeichen vor- und frühmoderner Perspektiven. Anlass des Symposions war der 400. Jahrestag der Politica Methodice Digesta des Johannes Althusius (1563-1638), die 1603 in Herborn, damals Sitz einer Hohen Schule, zuerst erschienen ist und als eines der ersten wissenschaftlichen Lehrbücher der Politik gilt. Im Rahmen des Symposions wurde eine deutsche Übersetzung der Politica in repräsentativer Auswahl vorgestellt, die ebenfalls bei Duncker & Humblot erschienen ist und es ermöglicht, den Text nun auch ohne Lateinkenntnisse zu erschließen.

At the dawn of the modern age a debate took place that would determine the further course of Western and thus world civilization. This debate did not take place in any assembly or debating chamber. It took place in the hearts and minds of the trend-setting intelligentsia of the day.Two figures engaged in this debate, acting as signposts at the crossroads which materialized in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, when a decision loomed and a path had not yet irrevocably been embarked upon. They functioned at the time and place destined to be the stage upon which this decision would become apparent: in and around the Dutch Republic in its struggle for freedom from the Spanish monarchy. They shared the same inheritance, constraints, and influences; the one fashioned it in a way that proved a resounding success which would be received as orthodoxy, the framework of right-thinking people for centuries to come; the other in a way that, although offering a coherent and constructive alternative, languished in obscurity, only in our day receiving renewed interest from the scattered flock of academics and churchmen (and women) who either make the knowledge of such things their business, or share a wistfulness for and inkling of this world we have lost.The one is Hugo Grotius, world renowned, the so-called "Father of International Law." Although the appropriateness of such an appellation has been drawn into well-deserved doubt in our time, what should not be in doubt is the paradigmatic role his work played in the course of our civilization. Grotius fashioned the synthesis of the socio-political-legal-constitutional materials, the harvest of centuries of scholarship, into the familiar modern shape, which this book will explore in extenso. It is his path that was chosen, his seed that has now reached harvest time.The other is Johannes Althusius, forgotten by the Enlightenment but restored to honor in the 19th century by the German "revivalist" of associationalism Otto von Gierke. Althusius drew on the same source materials as Grotius to fashion his own synthesis of political, legal, and constitutional thought, a synthesis which then fell into abeyance as its competitor synthesis triumphed, but which in our day has enjoyed a renaissance that promises a theoretical renewal of our understanding of constitutionalism and the rule of law.These two men encapsulate the conflict of Western civilization. The path of the one was taken, the path of the other eschewed. For at the crossroads of Western civilization the eventful, fateful choice was made to go down the path of rationalist individualism instead of the path of communitarian associationalism, the path of Grotius instead of the path of Althusius. It is their achievements which are elucidated in this book.
