Medieval Foundations of Limited Government | Dr. Andrew Willard Jones

In this insightful lecture delivered at ISI's Annual Student Honors Conference, Dr. Andrew Willard Jones explores the medieval roots of limited government, delving into how freedom and power were balanced in the feudal world. Drawing on his deep expertise in medieval history, Dr. Jones challenges modern assumptions about the Middle Ages, revealing how the concepts of personal liberty and localized authority laid the groundwork for Western political traditions. Dr. Jones argues that the medieval system, often misunderstood as oppressive, actually fostered a dynamic interplay between lords, vassals, and the Church, creating a society where authority was distributed, and freedom was negotiated within a framework of mutual obligations. He traces how these medieval ideas of governance, rooted in Christian thought and feudal practice, contributed to the development of limited government and the protection of individual rights. Join us as Dr. Jones takes us on a journey back to the feudal world, offering a fresh perspective on how the medieval past continues to shape our understanding of freedom and government today. Whether you're a student of history, politics, or philosophy, this lecture provides a compelling look at the origins of concepts that remain central to contemporary debates.
