Abstract

Addressing the nature of PERFECT STATE in Thomas Aquinas’ political thoughts, the present study suggests MONARCHY as the best form of government in his thoughts, however, two different answers may be found to the question of who is to be the monarch: as a Christian, Aquinas whishes Pope to be the monarch and as an Aristotelian, he favors common KINGdom. However, he ultimately accepts the condition of the time and holds on a balanced view: Pope as the spiritual leader and KING as the political leader of society. However, blurred borders of the authority, raises Thomas beyond the mere approval of current states and his mythical -dream of Pope the KING leadership and leads him to description of KING’s responsibilities for Pope’s independence. At the end, he suggests MONARCHY as a preferred form of states, since it is more natural and maps the governing power of reason over other spiritual functions. That is, KING governs the state, just as reason and spirit govern other parts of body. Existence of some sort of supervision and administration over KING’s performance suggests closeness of his ideas and modern time constitutional governments.
