Rousseau has been seen as the inventor of the concept of nature; in
this collective volume philosophers and literary specialists from
France and the United States examine how Rousseau's philosophy can
be reinterpreted from the point of view of a constant dialectical
debate between nature and culture. In this, Rousseau is our true
contemporary.
Reveals the Hobbesian origins of contemporary political concerns,
especially the relationships between state, individual and lawYves
Charles Zarka shows you how Hobbes established the framework for
modern political thought. Discover the origin of liberalism in the
Hobbesian theory of negative liberty; that Hobbesian interest and
contract are essential to contemporary discussions of the
comportment of economic actors; and how state sovereignty returns
anew in the form of the servility of the state. At the same time,
Zarka controversially argues against received readings claiming
that Hobbes is a thinker of a state monopoly on legitimate
violence.
