Description and Table of Contents
Description
Contemporary political theory has produced a rich body of new ideas, encouraging a reassessment of the history of political thought. In this volume, Flathman examines the provocative political philosophy of Thomas Hobbes in the light of its possible contribution to our understanding of modernity.
Taking Hobbes' philosophical texts out of their context and placing them in ours, much as Hobbes did to his own predecessors, the author uses them to address questions of present philosophical, moral and political concern.
