    BALTASAR ALAMOS BARRIENTOS EN LA (PRE) MODERNIDAD TACITISTA
    (2015-09-23) Sauquillo, Julián
    This text intends to provide evidence that the political theory of Baltasar Alamos Barriento's -Antonio Pérez' thinking head- cannot be framed in modernity but that it is obviously pre-modern. Contemporary Spanish masters of political thought -Maravall, Tierno Galván, Murillo Ferrol- have discerned in Alamos Barrientos the existence of the inductive method -instead of an explicit development of casuistry- in his writings supposedly influenced by Francis Bacon. By applying the Weberian comparative method, he makes it obvious that authors preceding Alamos, such as the Italian Donato Giannotti, behold a greater trust in modernity rather than in the governor's baroque virtue, still a manifestation of pre-modern charisma as a personal guaranty of good government.
