In book I, he derives all power from an upper source and builds up a monarchic conception of the Church and the State. Differently, in books II and III he stresses the dependence of government on the consent of subjects, which makes of him a pioneer of democratic formulations of government. The author of the article shows that Nicholas of Cusa (1) frames these two seemingly contradictory views within a broader theologic-christologic thesis. This thesis holds that all government must derive from both humane and divine sources, which allows the author to conclude that (2) Nicholas’s singular statements on the radical freedom of man (naturally a gift of God) and on the limitations –to be exerted by control commissions– of both ecclesiastical and temporal powers set the ground for the development of a democratic thought founded on human rights. En el De concordantia catholica, Nicolás de Cusa desarrolla dos lecturas aparentemente contradictorias del gobierno. En el libro I deriva todo el poder desde una fuente superior y construye una concepción monárquica de la Iglesia y el Estado. Y, de manera diferente, en los libros II y III subraya la dependencia del gobierno frente al consenso de sus súbditos, lo que lo convierte en un pionero de las formulaciones democráticas de gobierno. El autor de este artículo muestra que Nicolás de Cusa (1) enmarca estas dos lecturas aparentemente contradictorias dentro de una tesis más amplio de índole teológico-cristológico. Esta tesis sostiene que todo gobierno debe derivar tanto de fuentes divinas como humanas. Esta le permite concluir al autor que (2) Nicolás presenta singulares planteos respecto a la libertad radical del hombre (naturalmente, siendo esta un regalo de Dios) y respecto a las limitaciones –debe ser ejercida bajo comisiones de control– de los poderes tanto eclesiástico como temporal, que se instituyen como base teórica para el desarrollo de un pensamiento democrático basado en los derechos humanos. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/7858 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/7858/6916 Patristica et Mediævalia; Vol. 24 (2003); 29-38 2683-9636 Nicolás de Cusa Teoría política Teología-cristológica Libertad humana Legitimidad Nicholas of Cuse Political theory Theology-christologic Human freedom Legitimacy Between Authority and Freedom: the Consensus, Main Idea of the Political Theory of Nicholas of Cues Entre autoridad y libertad: el consenso, idea central de la teoría política de Nicolás de Cusa en el De concordantia catholica info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=patris&d=7858_oai
