Yves 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.
Yves Charles Zarka is Professor of Political Philosophy at the Université Paris Descartes (Sorbonne), the general editor of Oeuvres de Hobbes (Vrin), and has also published La décision métaphysique de Hobbes (Vrin). He edits the journal Cités (PUF) and, among his works on contemporary political philosophy, has recently published Refaire l'Europe (PUF), Refonder le cosmopolitanisme (PUF), and L'inappropriabilité de la Terre (Armand Colin)." James Griffith is Assistant Professor in the History of Political Thought at the Bratislava International School of Liberal Arts.
