The Household as the Foundation of Aristotle's Polis
The Household as the Foundation of Aristotle's Polis, D. Brendan Nagle, New York: Cambridge University Press, 2006, xii, 352. This work examines the demographics of Greek households and cities as Aristotle would have known them with a view to showing that there was a distinctively close relation between them in Aristotle's thought. For Nagle, the household was both the economic foundation of the city and also, “in some way, its moral basis” (155)…
Hobbes on Natural Right in Society: The Leviathan Account
This article examines Hobbes' conception of natural right in society as presented in Part Two of Leviathan (primarily chapters 21 and 26 through 28). In contrast to Hobbes' earlier works, this section contains an implicit but important account of natural rights (called “true liberties”) in society and a corresponding set of restrictions on the proper use of law and punishment. Authority is thus absolute, but its proper use is limited. I argue tha…

C.B. Macpherson's“Hobbes”: A Critique
This article is a critique of C. B. Macpherson's interpretation of Hobbes's Leviathan . In reading possessive individualism into Hobbes's work, Macpherson assumes two basic theses: a logical claim, that a specific model of society is required to derive a universal opposition among men's powers; and a textual claim, that this universal opposition is implied by Hobbes as an unstated postulate in chapters 10–11 of Leviathan . These basic claims are …

Of beasts, gods, and civilized men: The justification of terrorism and of counterterrorist measures
This essay argues that the practical difficulties of dealing effectively with terrorism reveal a basic problem in the terms of conventional moral understanding. Specifically, current moral principles permit us to condemn any act of terrorism as categorically unjustifiable only in terms which impose crippling restrictions upon the range of justifiable counterterrorist measures. This problem arises from an abstract individualism which pervades curr…
