The Minervan Republic

FEATURED ESSAYS

CURRENT AFFAIRS & NEWS

From Cicero’s republic through Charlemagne’s commonwealth and Petrarch’s revival of letters to the Republican Revolutions, one tradition alone has fought arbitrary power in every age, the civic republican tradition, and we fight for its living continuation. The Republican Tradition as a noble cause of Humanism is not yet spent. It was from antiquity to the early modern period, the result of eclecticism with elements of synthesis. A reinvigoration of its ideal and civic philosophy within our thought, life, politics and culture is the best strategy to save, enhance and fortify our democratic institutions, civic literacy and human ingenuity.
