This book explores why and how Thomas Hobbes ¿ the 17th century founder of political science -- contributed to the modern marginalisation of ¿friendship¿, a concept that stood in the foreground of ancient moral and political thought and that is currently undergoing a revival. The study shows that Hobbes did not question the occurrence of friendship; rather, he rejected friendship as an explanatory and normative principle of peace and cooperation. Hobbes¿s stance was influential because it captured the spirit of modernity- its individualism, nominalism, practical scepticism, and materialism. Hobbes¿s legacy has a bearing on contemporary debates about civic, international and global friendship.
Features the articles on Hobbes that have been published in the twentieth century. This work aims at capturing the trend of fragmentation of Hobbes studies offering a taste of early epic interpretations that engaged with the whole of Hobbes' theory.
