| Summary: | "A collection of David Gauthier's essays on Hobbes and political contractarianism. The eight papers on Hobbes, written over four decades, represent the author's changing understanding of Hobbes's theory since the publication of The Logic of Leviathan (Oxford, 1969). These include several essays on Hobbes on law, challenging influential readings of his legal philosophy, and an important new, previously unpublished piece on "The True and Only Moral Philosophy". Four essays on the social contract are included: a longer version of "Political Contractarianism" (1997), Gauthier's well-known "Public Reason" (1994), and two other papers, one previously published only in French and Spanish translations. These papers will interest Hobbes scholars and political and legal philosophers"--Publisher's description. |
