Brill's studies in intellectual history ; v. 187.
|
| Contents |
Hobbe's and Locke's contract theories: political not metaphysical -- Pacifying politics: resistance, violence, and accountability in seventeenth-century contract theory -- When Hobbes needed history -- Hobbesian absolutism and the paradox in modern contractarianism -- The composition of Hobbe's Elements of law -- The difficulties of Hobbes interpretation -- Afterword: Theorists of the absolutist |
| Summary |
These essays carefully show that classic social-contract theory was an ancien regime genre. Far more than is commonly realized, the local horizon was built into Hobbes's and Locke's theories and the genre drew on the absolutism of Bodin and Grotius |
