Idealism and the Higher Morality versus Democracy
Idealism and the Higher Morality versus Democracy: Using Nietzsche’s Genealogy of Morals to Revisit Bradley’s Ethical Studies Charles D. Tarlton (bio) Perhaps I have never read anything to which I would have said to myself No, proposition by proposition, conclusion by conclusion, to the extent that I did to this book: yet quite without ill-humour or impatience . . . I made opportune and inopportune reference to the propositions of that book, not …
Azioni in modo l’una dall’altra”
It has come to be increasingly recognized that The Prince fails to offer a viable and practical guide to successful political action. Violent force provides Machiavelli's theory with the only even tentative form of purposive action he can theoretically sustain. In violence, elements of the action itself seem to appear as consequences, thus restoring a semblance of connection between deliberate action and outcomes. As a result, successful politica…

The Word for the Deed
“the Word for the Deed”: Hobbes’s Two Versions of Leviathan Charles D. Tarlton (bio) But wee are to give credit to the Canonicall Scripture, whatsoever be written in the Apocrypha. 1 I This is an essay about Leviathan and its double. It attempts to display and assess the implications of a differentiation within Leviathan that first betrays itself in the ambiguities of the signification of the very word—Leviathan. Thus, on the one hand, Leviathan …

The Rulers now on Earth’
When we believed that Locke had written Two treatises of government to justify the Glorious Revolution, we could say a great deal about his purposes in relation to the events of 1688–89. The book served to interpret those events, to disclose their underlying meaning; philosophy and action were joined in such a manner that both gained lustre from the link. But, now we have generally accepted the view that Locke actually wrote Two treatises in the …
The Exclusion Controversy, Pamphleteering, and Locke's Two Treatises
It is now more than twenty years since Peter Laslett argued that the Exclusion controversy and not the Revolution of 1688 was the occasion of the composition of Locke's Two treatises. Nevertheless, scholarly interpretations still resist treating Two treatises as mainly an activist tract and persist in characterizing it always as something loftier, viz. ‘political philosophy’, ‘systematic moral apologia’, and the like. Resistance to the implicatio…
A Rope of Sand
The historiography of Locke's First treatise exhibits a vicious circle of oversight, prejudgement and caricature which has effectively prohibited detailed, structural interpretation of that work for generations. Twenty years ago the solitary voice of Herbert Rowen escaped the inertia and admonished scholars for their lack of attention. ‘There is more to the First treatise ’, he argued, ‘than a refutation of Sir Robert Filmer's derivation of polit…
The Creation and Maintenance of Government
Philosophical preoccupation with moral, legal, and hypothetical problems have led us to neglect those practical (or strategic) dimensions of Leviathan in which Hobbes confronts the problems of how order can actually be politically created from disorder and how, once begun, the germ of order can be perpetuated in stable political society. The possibilities of political creation reside in the idea of confederation and, importantly, in men's fundame…
Political Theory as Evocation
Historicity, Meaning, and Revisionism in the Study of Political Thought
In a recent essay, Languages and Their Implications: The Transformation of the Study of Political Thought, J. G. A. Pocock has made the serious claim that during the last ten years scholars interested in the study of systems of political thought have had the experience of living through radical changes, which may amount to a transformation, in their discipline.' What he identifies as the transformation nothing more or less than the emergence of a…

The Symbolism of Redemption and the Exorcism of Fortune in Machiavelli's Prince
Machiavelli's Prince has been interpreted and appraised from a wide range of points of view. Attitudes have run all the way from unqualified admiration for the Princes compelling frankness and republican patriotism to shock and hatred for its obvious moral relativism. The Prince has been condemned as a piece of political opportunism, an expression of the philosophy of the antichrist, and a contributing factor to the political morality of both Nap…
Federalism, Political Energy, and Entropy
SHE PURPOSE of this essay is to suggest the outlines of a conceptual framework for analyzing the sources of political vitality within states of varying diversity and unity. It will attempt to formulate some concepts useful in accounting for the often great range of functional and/or dysfunctional conflict within systems. Federalism is a complex phenomenon and what is crucial to explain is not what makes all states the same, but what underpins the…

The Styles of American International Thought
Because of heightened involvement of the United States in world affairs during the period between the Spanish-American War and World War I, American political thought expanded to include the dimension of international politics. In the process three different styles of thought emerged. Each style was equipped with its characteristic view of the nature of international politics, the nature and role of war, views of human nature, a method of social …

The Mentally Ill in Criminal Cases
ILE the Anglo-American legal system has consistently provided special protections to the mentally ill in criminal cases, the Supreme Court has never maintained that they should receive this special treatment as a constitutional right. This observation is clear from even the most cursory examination of the law affecting the insane in criminal proceedings. The important three areas in which mental illness and criminal law intersect, i.e., insanity …
