It is the first substantial collection of new, critical essays on Thomas Hobbes by leading scholars in over a decade.Hobbes?s writings stirred debate in his own lifetime, for two centuries thereafter, and continue to do so in ours. They emerged in a period of intense political turmoil?a time of civil war and regicide, of puritanical rule and royal restoration. ?They were motivated,? Dietz argues, ?by concrete political problems and a practical concern, namely, to secure political order, absolute sovereignty, and civil peace.? The contributors emphasize and answer a series of expressly political questions that, to date, have not been fully addressed in the Hobbes literature. They contend that Hobbes?s writings are not mere static artifacts of a particular historical milieu, but rather rich sources of a variety of interpretations and criticisms that spur discussion and debate in their turn. 606 $aPolitical science & theory$2bicssc 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aPolitical science & theory 615 7$aPolitical science & theory 676 $a320/.092 700 $aDietz$b Mary G$4edt$0144190 702 $aDietz$b Mary G.$4edt 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910485609903321 996 $aThomas Hobbes and Political Theory$94156268 997 $aUNINA
