Summary
This volume gathers and reflects on the wealth of political thought produced in Portugal between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. It is a selection of texts on the social order, government and politics, written by Portuguese authors, the majority of them born in peninsular Portugal, as well as a few natives or long-term residents of colonial Brazil.
