I28-R145-12962_oai2025-11-17 Miceli, Mario Leonardo 2023-12-12 This paper aims to study the conceptualization of revolution within two groups associated with Puritanism during the English Revolution of the seventeenth century, known as levellers and diggers. The focus of the analysis will be on the ideas they put forth to justify the overthrow of the Stuart regime, which would result in the proposal of a political system considered to be the only rational and just. To this end, it will be examined in particular whether the appeal to texts from Latin antiquity or the interpretation of biblical passages played a more predominant role in their theories. Within this framework, the paper will contribute to the discussions on the processes of secularization in Early Modernity. The hypothesis to be upheld is that, although the political propositions of the members of these groups have clear connections with modern ideas, their origin is not to be found in the influence of secular thought associated with the reading of authors from the pagan antiquity, but rather in a particular interpretation of the Bible. This will show how some modern political conceptualizations emerge not as a break with the medieval theological world, but rather as a product of an interpretative variation of Christian theology. El trabajo propone estudiar la conceptualización de la revolución en dos agrupaciones ligadas al puritanismo durante la Revolución Inglesa del siglo XVII, denominados como levellers y diggers. El foco del análisis estará puesto en las fundamentaciones que esgrimieron para justificar el derrocamiento del régimen de los Estuardo, y que traerá como consecuencia la proposición de un sistema político considerado como el único racional y justo. Para ello se examinará especialmente si en sus teoremas tenía un rol más preponderante la apelación a textos de la Antigüedad latina o la interpretación de pasajes bíblicos. En este marco, el trabajo se insertará en las discusiones sobre los procesos de secularización en la temprana Modernidad. La hipótesis consistirá en demostrar que, si bien las proposiciones políticas de los miembros de estos grupos poseen claras conexiones con ideas modernas, su origen no se encuentra en la impronta de un pensamiento secular asociado a la lectura de autores de la Antigüedad pagana, sino más bien en una particular interpretación de la Biblia. Con ello se mostrará cómo algunas conceptualizaciones políticas modernas surgen no como un quiebre con el mundo teológico medieval, sino más bien como producto de una variación interpretativa de la teología cristiana. -- -- -- application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/analesHAMM/article/view/12962 10.34096/ahamm.v57.2.12962 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/analesHAMM/article/view/12962/12313 Derechos de autor 2023 Anales de Historia Antigua, Medieval y Moderna Anales de Historia Antigua, Medieval y Moderna; Vol. 57 Núm. 2 (2023) 1853-1555 1514-9927 puritanism levellers diggers revolution secularization puritanismo levellers diggers revolución secularización The Conceptions of Revolution in Two Puritan Political Movements of Seventeenth-Century England.

This paper aims to study the conceptualization of revolution within two groups associated with Puritanism during the English Revolution of the seventeenth century, known as levellers and diggers. The focus of the analysis will be on the ideas they put forth to justify the overthrow of the Stuart regime, which would result in the proposal of a political system considered to be the only rational and just. To this end, it will be examined in particular whether the appeal to texts from Latin antiquity or the interpretation of biblical passages played a more predominant role in their theories. Within this framework, the paper will contribute to the discussions on the processes of secularization in Early Modernity. The hypothesis to be upheld is that, although the political propositions of the members of these groups have clear connections with modern ideas, their origin is not to be found in the influence of secular thought associated with the reading of authors from the pagan antiquity, but rather in a particular interpretation of the Bible. This will show how some modern political conceptualizations emerge not as a break with the medieval theological world, but rather as a product of an interpretative variation of Christian theology. |
