In 1957 Ernst Kantorowicz published a book that would be the guide for generations of scholars through the arcane mysteries of medieval political theology. In The King's Two Bodies, Kantorowicz traces the historical problem posed by the "King's two bodies"--the body politic and the body natural--back to the Middle Ages and demonstrates, by placing the concept in its proper setting of medieval thought and political theory, how the early-modern Western monarchies gradually began to develop a "political theology."

The king's natural body has physical attributes, suffers, and dies, naturally, as do all humans; but the king's other body, the spiritual body, transcends the earthly and serves as a symbol of his office as majesty with the divine right to rule. The notion of the two bodies allowed for the continuity of monarchy even when the monarch died, as summed up in the formulation "The king is dead. Long live the king."

Bringing together liturgical works, images, and polemical material, The King's Two Bodies explores the long Christian past behind this "political theology." It provides a subtle history of how commonwealths developed symbolic means for establishing their sovereignty and, with such means, began to establish early forms of the nation-state.

Kantorowicz fled Nazi Germany in 1938, after refusing to sign a Nazi loyalty oath, and settled in the United States. While teaching at the University of California, Berkeley, he once again refused to sign an oath of allegiance, this one designed to identify Communist Party sympathizers. He resigned as a result of the controversy and moved to the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, where he remained for the rest of his life, and where he wrote The King's Two Bodies.

從第三部分開始很多章節都隻得草草翻過瞭,以後重讀。分析文本和圖像的段落太值得學習,對莎翁政治劇和aachen手抄本封頁圖像的解剖真是信手拈來!

美輪美奐~

主要從分析作為法人的Crown與作為人身個人的國王之不同這點入手,闡釋瞭中世紀西歐王權觀念的興衰史,分析瞭王權如何從羅馬帝國皇帝全權到教皇權威,再到封建王權,最後到文藝復興時期絕對主義君主製崛起的過程。在某種程度上,它依然從屬於英國例外論的論述範疇,隻是坎特諾維奇已經將英國例外論同整個歐洲背景聯係起來。讀之益處多多。憑國內學人的知識背景,沒有兩個人能真正把這本書讀懂,要翻好更是難上加難。
