Science, Prudence, and Folly in Hobbes's Political Theory
L'A. affirme que l'on a trop insiste sur le role de la science dans l'oeuvre de Hobbes et cela a cache l'importance de sa theorie politique (de ce qu'il appellait prudence ou jugement naturel). L'A. analyse la conception hobbesienne de la faute comme la partie la plus significative de sa theorie de la vie politique
Reconsidering Hobbes's Conventionalism
Hobbes's linguistic conventionalism is one of the most obvious themes of his work. But it has not been considered as closely as it should be, given its prominence. I argue that Hobbes reworked quite traditional materials in such a way as to produce a novel doctrine, but that this novelty did not involve him in the implausible claim that issues of scientific truth and proof could be settled simply on the basis of linguistic agreement. Rather, he g…
Thomas Hobbes on "Discourse" in Politics
The salience of language in Hobbes's work has been recognized, but interpretations of his ideas on this subject have been remarkably discordant. The principal reason, this article argues, is that Hobbes is interpreted in the light of modern theories of meaning in language, whereas a coherent account can only be given by understanding the idea of signification current in the seventeenth century. The author contends that an appropriately contextual…
Thomas Hobbes's “highway to peace

But this association is in many ways paradoxical, and above all because Hobbes's avowed purpose was to “show us the highway to peace.” It is usually assumed that he aimed exclusively at internal peace while resigning himself to permanent rivalry among states, but there are a good many indications th…

The Education of Citizens
By virtue of their teaching and publications, political scientists are engaged in political discourse and presumably affect the public's perception of the political world. Such perceptions include man's role as citizen, political possibilities, and ultimately fundamental ideas about human nature. Although the political impact of their scholarly activities implies a high degree of public responsibility, political scientists fail to give proper con…
