description

Christian philosophical tradition, medieval in a large sense, recieves from greek philosophy a positive valuation of coaction as auxiliary instrument of morality. Saint Augustine reinforces it by his reference to "libido" and to original sin. Saint Thomas consideres "providential" the whole punitive dimension of state. Marsilius of Padova converts coaction into the essence of law. Suarez concieves law as (non democratical) "imposition" of superior's will. The two authors seem defenseless against the modern phenomenon of "power centralization".
