![]() Luther’s mouth opened and closed like a goldfish as Five fired all this information at him. If they catch him… well - let’s just say their intentions aren’t exactly virtuous.” Luther I’m going to cut a long story short, I found evidence last night which suggests Klaus is being stalked by either a group or individual. The three brothers looked away from each other thoughtfully before Five broke the silence to voice what they were all thinking, “Ok, we’ll assume he has swiped drugs from the cabinet… but a relapse isn’t the focus here. Good, they’ll be wearing off by now and he won’t get far with the pain kicking in.” Five mused.” Unless he swiped some from the cabinet.” “Grace was in at about 8 am from what I recall.” ![]() When did he last have a dose of painkillers?” Five began to pace back and forth in front of the bar, his hands pulling at his hair. “Luther’s right, there’s no way he could have gotten far. “He can’t have gone too far in the state he was in.” Luther tried to reason, “We should split up and look for him.” ![]() We need to work together here to find him and fast.” “ Stop! Alright! We don’t have time for this. “I can’t believe you left him alone!” Diego started to advance on Luther.Ī soft pop and flicker of blue had Five appearing in between the two. He was alone for a half hour tops.” Luther’s expression was chagrined. The reading of these works and the manuscript sources allows us to grasp Gentili’s elaboration of a continuous line of thought that, over the years, leads to the full recognition of libertas religionis and, for this reason, to the unlawfulness of moving war religionis causa.“Luther, how long since you last saw him?” Five tore his gaze from the note to glare at Luther, his hands moving to his temples in an attempt to massage away his rapidly growing stress headache. The correspondence, still preserved manuscript in the Corpus Christi College of Oxford, heralds the final Gentili’s position in the dispute, which will be completely expressed in the De iure belli (1598) and Book I of Disputationum de nuptiis libri VII (1601). An epistolary controversy between Gentili and the puritan theologian John Rainolds over this topic occurred in the years 1593-1594. Codicis de professoribus et medicis (1593). Many of the Gentili’s works on these issues appeared between 15: De legationibus libri tres (1585), De iure belli Commentationes (1588-89), Commentatio ad legem III. The author investigates Alberico Gentili’s thought about the relationship between law, theology and religion as well as the roles and competence of the theologian and the jurist respectively. Constant's freedom contains nothing abstract, it is not a myth and neither is it a revelation: it is born from historical experience and symbolises a method of action through which different individuals contribute to the progress of the human race, thanks to their own ideas. Constant, having overcome the inflexibility of the enlightenment and influenced by the rising aspirations of Romanticism, intends freedom not only as independence from the authorities and from power, but also as perfectibility, as religious sentiment, as a person's ability to develop his own inner ego and as pluralism of values. I shall thus concentrate my attention on the many-sided nature of his work, because from the analysis of the different forms in which Constant’s thinking was expressed (Perfunctory texts, articles, theorical essays, diaries, novels) and from the different fields it regarded (politics, history, religion, literature), an idea of freedom comes to light, which in my opinion transcends the strictly political dimension which is usually considered when approaching his thinking. Starting from this declaration of faith – given by Benjamin Constant in the preface of "Mélanges de littérature et de politique" – and based on Isaiah Berlin’s classification, I shall endeavour to show that Constant, despite the fact he may appear a hedgehog because guided his whole life long by one single principle, that of freedom, to all intents and purposes he is in fact a fox. «I've been defending the same principle for forty years, freedom in everything, in religion, philosophy, literature, industry and politics».
