In Natural and Political Conceptions of Community, Christoph Haar examines the role of the household community in Jesuit political thought. Introducing a fresh perspective on the early modern Jesuit academic discourse, the book explores how leading Jesuit thinkers drew on their theologically inspired conceptions of the family community to determine the usefulness as well as the limitations of the political realm. Natural and Political Conceptions of Community is about the place of the household in Scholastic theoretical works. The book demonstrates that Jesuits considered the human being as a household being when they determined the origin and purpose of the political community, producing a notion of politics that integrated their account of human nature with the sphere of law, rights, and virtues.
Despite the growing interest in the political, economic, legal and international thought of the late scholastics, the household - communitas oeconomica - has not been subject to scholarly enquiry. This is an oversight because the household, in their thought, was a phenomenon at the intersection of all of the above approaches. 0Natural and Political Conceptions of Community is about Jesuit political thought viewed through the lens of their theories about the household community. It consequently explores the relationship and overlap between natural communities and political communities and how the Jesuits interpreted these issues in their theoretical works.
