History
In history, the term "absolutism" refers to a period extending over the 17th and 18th centuries, personified by the French Sun King Louis XIV. In the history of ideas, absolutism is primarily associated with Jean Bodin and Thomas Hobbes, two thinkers for whom only a political power not bound by any (human) law could end civil wars. However, as will be shown, absolutism can take not only a monarchical form but also a democratic one, as with Jean-Jacques Rousseau. And democratic absolutism à la Rousseau can be more dangerous than monarchical absolutism à la Bodin.
