Hobbes and Modern Political Thought

By (author) Yves Charles Zarka, Translated by James Griffith

| on special |

normal price: R 4 089.95

Price: R 3 680.95

| book description |

Yves Charles Zarka shows you how Hobbes established the framework for modern political thought. Discover the origin of liberalism in the Hobbesian theory of negative liberty; that Hobbesian interest and contract are essential to contemporary discussions of the comportment of economic actors; and how state sovereignty returns anew in the form of the servility of the state. At the same time, Zarka controversially argues against received readings claiming that Hobbes is a thinker of a state monopoly on legitimate violence.
