  1. Pyrrhonism in the Political Philosophy of Thomas Hobbes.James J. Hamilton - 2012 - British Journal for the History of Philosophy 20 (2):217-247.
    The importance of Pyrrhonism to Hobbes's political philosophy is much greater than has been recognized. He seems to have used Pyrrhonist arguments to support a doctrine of moral relativity, but he was not a sceptic in the Pyrrhonist sense. These arguments helped him to develop his teaching that there is no absolute good or evil; to minimise the purchase of natural law in the state of nature and its restrictions on the right of nature; virtually to collapse natural law into (...)

  • The quest for the legitimacy of the people.Marco Verschoor - 2015 - Politics, Philosophy and Economics 14 (4):391-428.
    This article addresses the problem of ‘the legitimacy of the people’, that is, what constitutes the legitimate demarcation of the political units within which democracy is practiced? It is commonplace among philosophers to argue that this problem cannot be solved by appeal to democratic procedure because every attempt to do so results in an infinite regress. Based on a social contract theoretical analysis of the problem, this view is rejected. Although contract theorists have ignored the problem of the legitimacy of (...)

  • Hobbes and Terrorism.David Lay Williams - 2009 - Critical Review: A Journal of Politics and Society 21 (1):91-108.
    ABSTRACT Terrorism is perhaps the greatest challenge of the contemporary age. Of all the canonical figures in political theory, Thomas Hobbes is the most likely candidate to offer genuine insight into this problem. Yet although his analysis of the state of nature is immediately relevant to the diagnosis of this problem, his metaphysics cannot sustain his politics. His aspiration to “immutable” natural laws grounded in the universal motivation of the fear of death crumble when this fear is no longer universal. (...)

  • Recelo y admisión del elemento democrático en el Leviatán de Hobbes.José Luis Galimidi - 2022 - Las Torres de Lucca: Revista Internacional de Filosofía Política 11 (1):89-102.
    Hobbes mantiene una actitud dual respecto de la participación política en general, y de la forma democrática de gobierno, que es la universalización del impulso participativo, en particular. La teoría desarrollada en el Leviatán, de un lado, incorpora el elemento participativo como expresión eminente de la voluntad de poder, a la vez que, del otro, trata de contener sus previsibles inconveniencias mediante una adecuada comprensión del correcto diseño y manejo de la máquina del Estado. Las críticas de Hobbes al talante (...)

  • The Hopefull Leviathan: Hope, Deliberation and the Commonwealth.Christopher Bobier - 2021 - Archiv für Geschichte der Philosophie 103 (3):455-480.
    According to a common reading of Thomas Hobbes, fear is the most philosophically important passion, responsible for the founding and sustaining of the commonwealth. I argue that this common reading is incorrect by focusing on the necessary and important role of hope in human action as well as in the founding and sustaining of the commonwealth. Life in the Hobbesian commonwealth, on the reading defended in this paper, is less fearful and more hopeful than scholars have noticed.

  • Liberdade pela lei ou liberdade contraa lei em Hobbes: Fundamentos para uma teoria da vontade.Delamar José Volpato Dutra - 2014 - Dissertatio 40:73-100.
    O conceito de liberdade negativa se tornou corriqueiro na filosofia política, ao menos desde os trabalhos de Constant e Berlin. Igualmente, é quase um lugar comum referir o mesmo a Hobbes, como sendo quem por primeiro o formulou. O texto apresenta o referido conceito em Hobbes, a partir de duas críticas ao mesmo, quais sejam, aquela segundo a qual o seu conceito definir-se-ia em função da satisfação de desejos, de tal forma que não haveria impedimento se os desejos fossem adaptados (...)

  • Thomas Hobbes y la distinción entre propiedad estatal, individual y común.Miguel León Pérez - 2022 - Isegoría 66:16-16.
    Within the paradigm of political liberalism, Hobbes’s legal philosophy has the peculiarity that individual property rights are treated as conditional and derived from the State’s absolute property rights, and thus common, State and individual property are explicitly recognised as three different juridical realities. Through determining the place that Hobbes’s few references to common property hold within his legal philosophy, it is possible to turn the thought of this classic author into a very useful theoretical tool for thinking the possibilities and (...)

  • A República segundo Hobbes: o Corpo ou a Razão?Jean Mathiot - 1993 - Discurso 22:35-62.
    Este artigo tenta mostrar como a concepção hobbesiana de corpo, longe de ser uma mera metáfora ou o efeito de uma redução fisicalista, constitui antes uma significação primeira para toda ciência possível. A partir dela, é possível pensar o que é o corpo político sem cair em ilusões substancialistas ou totalizantes.

  • La imaginación y la estructura del pensamiento político de Hobbes.Omar Astorga - 1999 - Araucaria 1 (2).
    La siguiente propuesta de lectura es, en muchos sentidos, el resultado del encuentro con la obra de Norberto Bobbio. Este pensador italiano se dedicó a estudiar a los clásicos de la filosofía política y, entre ellos, especialmente a Thomas Hobbes, y fue. mostrando, de un modo cada vez más convincente, la presencia de la obra de: Hobbes en el desarrollo de la filosofía política moderna, hasta el punto de considerarla: como el gran modelo que reemplaza ala tradición aristotélica. Su tesis (...)

  • Normatividad subjetiva y objetiva en Hobbes.Horacio Spector - 2017 - Revista Latinoamericana de Filosofia 43 (2):285-301.
    En este trabajo critico la interpretación moralizada de la obligación política en Hobbes que defiende Luciano Venezia. Exploro una lectura diferente que evita una dicotomía tajante entre las razones prudenciales y las razones morales y subraya en cambio la discontinuidad entre la normatividad subjetiva de la ley natural y la normatividad objetiva de la ley positiva. Sostengo que el contrato de sujeción política establece obligaciones objetivas recién cuando el soberano exige el cumplimiento de los contratos. La obligación política es entonces (...)
