The City of Strasbourg is the best pattern of the close ties between the reform of the church and the reform of the society. In few years (1523–1548) Strasbourg changed its institutes and its foreign and domestic politics. The city becomes one of the most relevant center of the Reformation and was able to welcome the different expressions of the Reformation. Martin Bucer was the author of that success. He was the man of the dialogue, able to work together with Capitone and Sturm and at the same time with authorities. The outcome was a «joint reformation» which by agreement of theologians, authorities, people made of Strasbourg the city of the refugees: reformed and sectarians (spiritualistes, anabaptistes, antitrinitarians). A peaceful revolution, a spiritual political and social revolution which was able to survive the Interim of Augusta.

Key Words: Johann Sturm, Wolfgang Capitone, magistrates, sectarians, reform, agreement, cooperation, Church discipline, Reformation

Epicurean Detective. Stephen Greenblatt’s «The Swerve: How the World Became Modern»

Kovalev, V. A. Sledstvie ob Epikure: Retsenziya na monografiyu Stivena Grinblatta «Renessans: U istokov sovremennosti» [Epicurean Detective. Stephen Greenblatt’s «The Swerve: How the World Became Modern»], in: Proslogion: Studies in Medieval and Early Modern Social History and Culture, 2018. Vol. 4 (1). P. 169–180.

Viktor Aleksandrovich Kovalev, doctor of History, assistant professor, Saint-Petersburg State University of the Humanities and Social Sciences (192238, Rossiya, Sankt-Peterburg, ulitsa Fuchika, 15)

Language: Russian

In the review of Stephen Greenblatt’s «The Swerve: How the World Became Modern» criticist argues that many of the monograph’s features are linked with neohistoricism pattern. It is apparent because author is one of neohistoricism patriarchs. Emphasis on the political and ideological aspect of historical events along with projection of author’s political prejudices frames all the scheme of the text. Reviewer points that the main theme of the monograph is author’s denying of postmodern concept of an «author’s death». Neither an author, nor the idea can not die, argues Greenblatt, because all things forgotten can return in the history of thoughts. Exemplified by the history of Epicureanism, this thesis runs like a golden thread through all substance of investigation. Along with this filled with humanistic pathos idea the key question of the scale of influence of the elite book-learned culture on the popular one remains unanswered by Greenblatt. Author sophisticatedly intertwines the storyline of Epicurean philosophy invention, oblivion and rediscovering in the Renaissance with historical, bookish, dramaturgical and even with his own biographical facts and events. But sometimes, as reviewer points, Greenblatt is unfair to the characters of his text blaming them in ideological imperfection. Also due to the concept of ideas’ immortality, he remains undiscovered a great part of historical process.

Key Words: neohistoricism, history of literature, the Renaissance, history of thoughts, Neomarxism, the early Modern history, history of the Middle ages, history of philosophy

Thirty Years War Interpreted by a Politologist

Prokopiev, A. Yu. Tridtsatiletnyaya voyna vzglyadom politologa [Thirty Years War Interpreted by a Politologist], in: Proslogion: Studies in Medieval and Early Modern Social History and Culture, 2018. Vol. 4 (1). P. 139–168.

Andrey Yur’evich Prokopiev, doctor of History, professor, Institute of History, St. Petersburg State University (199034, Rossiya, Sankt-Peterburg, Mendeleevskaya liniya, 5)

Language: Russian

The article is dedicated to the book of the German political scientist Herfried Münkler, published on the anniversary of the beginning of the Thirty Years’ War with the author’s political science postulates being critically examined. Is it possible to see the Thirty Years’ War as the forerunner of modern «hybrid» and «asymmetric» wars? What are the lessons of this war for modernity and can we use the laws of modern political science to analyze the early modern times? Is the «interference» of modern sciences in the field of historical research academically correct? The work of the well-known German scholar’s is analyzed in accordance with historical approach, taking into account the latest literature devoted to the Thirty Years’ War. It is emphasized that the laws of political science, projected into the past, can hardly help to reconstruct the historical panorama of events. They only emerge further questions and doubts. For the successful argumentation of the theses, it is necessary to take into account the point of view of historians, specialized in a certain epoch.

Key Words: Thirty Years’ War, Holy Roman Empire, Peace of Westphalia, Habsburger, German Estates, asymmetrical and hybridical war, Early Modern period
