Features: The Monarchy of the World is a representative work of Dante's political theory and holds an important position in the history of Western political thought. In this book, Dante systematically elaborates his political ideals, which are to establish a world empire under one rule. The entire book is divided into three volumes, each discussing three fundamental themes: First, it is necessary to establish a world empire under one rule for the welfare of the world; second, the Romans are qualified to hold the power of this earthly empire; third, the power of this world empire directly comes from God, not indirectly from God's agent—the Pope.
