Of Michael Oakeshott and his interest in Thomas Hobbes, Professor
Paul Franco has written, "The themes Oakeshott stresses in his
interpretation of Hobbes are . . . skepticism about the role of
reason in politics, allegiance to the morality of individuality as
opposed to any sort of collectivism, and the principle of a
noninstrumental, nonpurposive mode of political association,
namely, civil association." Of Hobbes's Leviathan, Oakeshott has
written, ""Leviathan" is the greatest, perhaps the sole,
masterpiece of political philosophy written in the English
language." "Hobbes on Civil Association" consists of Oakeshott's
four principal essays on Hobbes and on the nature of civil
association as civil association pertains to ordered liberty. The
essays are "Introduction to "Leviathan"" (1946); "The Moral Life in
the Writings of Thomas Hobbes" (1960); "Dr. Leo Strauss on Hobbes"
(1937); and, ""Leviathan" A Myth" (1947). The foreword remarks the
place of these essays within Oakeshott's entire corpus.Michael
Oakeshott (1901-1990) was Professor of Political Science at the
London School of Economics and the author of many essays, among
them those collected in "Rationalism in Politics and Other Essays"
and "On History and Other Essays, " both now published by Liberty
Fund.Paul Franco is a Professor in the Department of Government at
Bowdoin College.
