The third of three volumes of essays by Quentin Skinner, one of the
world's leading intellectual historians. This collection includes some
of his most important essays on Thomas Hobbes, each of which has been
carefully revised for publication in this form. In a series of
writings spanning the past four decades Professor Skinner examines,
with his customary perspicuity, the evolution and character of
Hobbes's political thought. An indispensable work in its own right,
this volume also serves as a demonstration of those methodological
theories propounded in Volume I, and as an appositional commentary on
the Renaissance values of civic virtue treated in Volume II. All of
Professor Skinner's work is characterised by philosophical power,
limpid clarity, and elegance of exposition; these essays, many of
which are now recognised classics, provide a fascinating and
convenient digest of the development of his thought. Professer Skinner
has been awarded the Balzan Prize Life Time Achievement Award for
Political Thought, History and Theory. Full details of this award can
