Since ancient times, many states have had political, social, and religious organizations. The emergence of these societies—often called orders—was always driven by specific reasons. Orders came in different forms: military, civilian, scientific. Some researchers called political societies “an expression of conscience in history.” Often, political societies were created out of a desire for revenge—not for a person, but for an institution: hatred for evil, for injustice, for slavery. This gave the orders a mysterious grandeur—without which they would immediately turn into small, traditional political parties.
This also explains the purpose of the orders, because they rarely carried out or achieved what they promised. If a reader wants to broaden their horizons and plunge into the world of mysticism, the political intrigues of the Middle Ages—this edition is definitely for them.
