La théorie monarchomaque et le droit de résis tance : Bayle, Jurieu et Arnauld

Our approach is toward Pierre Bayle (1647-1706)'s political thought. For this purpose, we compare his texts with Catholic and Protestant texts. Bayle and Antoine Arnauld (1612-1694), advocates of civil obedience to political power, condemn Pierre Jurieu (1637-1713), who demands people's right of rebellion against a monarch in the name of freedom of conscience. Bayle and Arnauld are also opposed to French Huguenot theorists at the end of the sixteenth century named Monarchomachs, who offered to Jurieu intellectual justifications for resistance to religious persecution.
