This is the first full account, analysis and subsequent history of
George Lawson's Politica, 1660-89. For long accepted as a
significant figure, through his criticism of Hobbes and his
possible influence on Locke, Lawson has never been studied in
depth, nor has his biography been previously established. Professor
Condren here provides the context and the analysis of Lawson's
major work, in the process re-dating it and providing a quite
different interpretation from previous readings. A substantial
section is devoted to the history of the text and its use in
controversies in the period 1660-89, and there is some reassessment
of the relationship between Hobbes, Locke and Lawson. The study
also uses Lawson's text to reopen questions about English
seventeenth-century political theory in general, and to prefigure a
theoretical study on metaphor and political conceptualisation. The
book thus operates on a number of levels, philosophical and
linguistic as well as historical.
