Religion in the English Enlightenment

Exclusive and inclusive theories of property rights
Contrary to Thomas Horne's propensity to consider arguments concerning property rights and poverty as exclusive and self‐contained topics within the political discourse of liberalism, they should be seen as part of the defense of democratic and market institutions that is central to the historical development of liberalism. The problems arising from the relationship of property rights to poverty, therefore, need to be included in any assessment o…

Liberal Political Theory and Working-class Radicalism in Nineteenth-Century England
T HE HISTORY OF LIBERALISM as a political theory has generally been written in the form of a commentary on the ideas expressed in the writings of a few philosophers. Rarely is the meaning of liberalism examined in the context of an attempt by historical actors to realize the values and beliefs of that political theory through collective action. In adopting the latter approach in this essay, I wish to consider the meaning that certain fundamental …
Philosophy, Science, and Religion in England 1640–1700
This collection of essays looks at the distinctively English intellectual, social and political phenomenon of Latitudinarianism, which emerged during the Civil War and Interregnum and came into its own after the Restoration, becoming a virtual orthodoxy after 1688. Dividing into two parts, it first examines the importance of the Cambridge Platonists, who sought to embrace the newest philosophical and scientific movements within Church of England …
Simple Objections and Complex Reality
Liberalism and the problem of poverty
From the seventeenth to the mid‐nineteenth centuries, the language of natural law and natural rights structured the commitment of liberalism to the development of both a market society and democratic political institutions. The existence of widespread poverty was seen, at various times, as a problem to be resolved either by an expanding commercial/capitalistic society or through democratic political reform. As Thomas Home shows in Property Rights…

Political Theory and Practical Action
Revolutionary Politics and Locke's Two Treatises of Government
Revolutionary politics & Locke's two treatises of government
Marx and Political Theory
The title of this essay is intentionally ambiguous because both sets of issues I propose to consider may conveniently be placed under its heading. I wish to discuss not only Marx's political theory, but also Marx's relationship to the tradition of political theory-or, more precisely, to a particular view of that tradition. Of course, as I shall attempt to demonstrate, these are not separable, but are interrelated subjects, such that a discussion …
Locke, Revolution Principles, and the Formation of Whig Ideology
In the immediate aftermath of the Glorious Revolution, there appeared an anonymous pamphlet, Political aphorisms , which purported to instruct its readers in ‘true maxims of government’. The identity of the author of this bold doctrinal claim is not known, and while it would be useful to have this knowledge, it is not, for reasons which will become clear, the most crucial element of the story. What is important is the historical significance of t…

Rethinking The Nature of Political Theory
Political Obligation in Its Historical Context
Political Theory and Political Action in Karl Mannheim's Thought
As a work of political theory,Ideology and Utopiahas satisfied almost no one. Mannheim's critics extend across a wide range of viewpoints, from Parsons, Merton, Bendix, Popper, and Shils on one side to Marcuse, Hork-heimer, Lukacs, and Adorno on the other. Neither Marxists nor non-Marxists have found much to their liking in the book, and the rather easy dismissal of Mannheim's arguments by such influential thinkers on both sides of the political …

Whose Problem? Whose Ideology
Locke's State of Nature
For nearly two centuries, the mere mention of the "state of nature" was sufficient to provoke a controversy. Did the writer intend an historical reference or was he employing a fictional concept as a means of presenting an a priori ethical argument? The question, at least in so far as it applies to John Locke, has never been satisfactorily answered-although it has frequently been brushed aside as unimportant. Yet, many of the "contradictions" whi…
On the Problem of Methodology and the Nature of Political Theory
T IS PERHAPS AN UNWONTED PARODY of Hegel aphorism about the owl of Minerva taking flight at dusk that the decline o political theory should be accompanied by a heightened interest in hom political theory should be studied. Having laid the tradition of substantive political philosophy to rest, we now find ourselves preoccupied with the problem of how to go about digging amongst the dusky remnants of the past. Methodological issues dominate the cur…

Political Theory and the Problem of Ideology
Marx and Weber on Liberalism as Bourgeois Ideology
Almost everyone who has investigated the subject agrees that between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries a great social transformation occurred, primarily in England and France, but to a lesser extent in other European countries and America as well. In sociopolitical terms this change is generally characterized as the rise of liberalism and is linked with the English, French and American Revolutions. The socioeconomic factors are summarized un…

Ideology and Class in Hobbes' Political Theory
f S A CONSEQUENCE of the extraordinary attention paid to the logic and scientific methodology of Thomas Hobbes' writings by recent scholars, we have all but set aside the importance of the fact that Hobbes was, in the first instance, apoliticaltheorist.1 In this essay, I will focus upon the political importance of Hobbes' thought to his contemporaries. My concern will be with the rather specific political motives and objectives which underly his …

Economic Metaphors, Behavioralism, and Political Theory
rT -HE IMPORTANCE of metaphorical language in structuring a political theory, though generally recognized, is a subject little discussed in the literature of political science.' Virtually every history of political philosophy cites Plato as an illustrative example of this relationship.
