'There are no substantive rights for subjects in Hobbes's political
theory, only bare freedoms without correlated duties to protect
them'. This orthodoxy of Hobbes scholarship and its Hohfeldian
assumptions are challenged by Curran who develops an argument that
Hobbes provides claim rights for subjects against each other and
(indirect) protection of the right to self-preservation by
sovereign duties. The underlying theory, she argues, is not a
theory of natural rights but rather, a modern, secular theory of
rights, with something to offer current discussions in rights
theory.
