The More–Morton connection: How Thomas More came to be at Lambeth Palace
The Milk Street mystery: Thomas More’s birthplace
Cresacre More’s assertion that Thomas More was born at Milk Street has frequently been taken at face value, and there is no existing scholarly discussion of its veracity. This article begins by laying out the material which supports the case for Milk Street, namely that More’s father, John More, lived there. However, this evidence only places John More at Milk Street in the 1520s or, at the earliest, in 1499. On the other hand, there is significa…
Beyond Utopia: Thomas More as a political thinker
Despite his producing voluminous writings beyond Utopia, scholarly consensus seems to be that if we want to understand the political thought of Thomas More, we must turn to this 'little book'.This approach, however, has yielded little consensus about how to categorise More as a political thinker, as Utopia is notoriously and intentionally enigmatic.This article attempts to generate a portrait of More as a political thinker by going beyond an inve…
From Humanism to Hobbes: Studies in Rhetoric and Politics, by Quentin Skinner
The year 2019 marks the fiftieth anniversary of Quentin Skinner’s foundational article ‘Meaning and Understanding in the History of Ideas’, first published in History and Theory in 1969 (revised and republished as part of Skinner’s Visions of Politics collection in 2002; rev. ante, cxix [2004], 1,344–7). This relatively short article is usually taken to be the original statement of Skinner’s contextualism and a founding text of the Cambridge Scho…
The best counsellors are the dead: Counsel and Shakespeare's Hamlet
This article demonstrates how Shakespeare used Hamlet to explore Renaissance ideas regarding political counsel, especially those epitomized in the maxim ‘ optimi consiliarii mortui ’ – the best counsellors are the dead. Examining Hamlet as a historical source, attention is drawn to the influence of Plutarch and Montaigne on the construction of conciliar characters, particularly Polonius, who is figured as the personification of late sixteenth‐cen…
Counsel, Command and Crisis
Although the distinction between counsel and command in Hobbes’s works, especially Leviathan , has been often acknowledged, it has been little studied. This article provides background and analysis of this critical distinction by placing it in conversation with the works of Henry Parker and in the context of the English Civil War, especially as regards the discussion of prudence, interests and crisis. In so doing, three conclusions can be drawn. …
Social support in older people: Lessons from a developing country
The Use of Kairos in Renaissance Political Philosophy
Although the Greek concept of kairos (καιρός) has undergone a recent renewal of interest among scholars of Renaissance rhetoric, this revival has not yet been paralleled by its reception into the history of political thought. This article examines the meanings and uses of this important concept within the ancient Greek tradition, particularly in the works of Isocrates and Plutarch, in order to understand how it is employed by two of the most impo…
