Jean Bodin

    January 1, 1530 – January 1, 1596

    Jean Bodin was a French jurist and political philosopher renowned for his theory of sovereignty. Living during a period of intense religious conflict, he advocated for the strong central authority of a national monarchy as a remedy for internal strife. His writings explored not only political philosophy but also subjects such as demonology. Bodin also championed the idea of religious tolerance and coexistence, as suggested by his later, unpublished work.
