In this text we will try to explain not only the origins of “Conciliar Thought” but also some of the most important ideas on the role of the general council in the constitutional structure of the Church in the years immediately after the Schism of 1378. At the same time, we will try to analyze how and in what sense the “conciliar” ecclesiology has
been recovered and used by the History of Political Thought. Finally,
we will study three conceptual problems related to “Conciliar Thought”: the medieval corporations and its historiography, the exception
as juridical, theological and political problem and the use of the term
repraesentation within the context of the Council of Constance.
