This book explores why and how Thomas Hobbes - the 17th century
founder of political science -- contributed to the modern
marginalisation of 'friendship', a concept that stood in the
foreground of ancient moral and political thought and that is
currently undergoing a revival. The study shows that Hobbes did not
question the occurrence of friendship; rather, he rejected
friendship as an explanatory and normative principle of peace and
cooperation. Hobbes's stance was influential because it captured
the spirit of modernity- its individualism, nominalism, practical
scepticism, and materialism. Hobbes's legacy has a bearing on
contemporary debates about civic, international and global
friendship.
