Book Synopsis Hobbesian Internationalism by : Silviya Lechner
Download or read book Hobbesian Internationalism written by Silviya Lechner and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-22 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sets out to re-examine the foundations of Thomas Hobbes’s political philosophy, and to develop a Hobbesian normative theory of international relations. Its central thesis is that two concepts – anarchy and authority – constitute the core of Hobbes's political philosophy whose aim is to justify the state. The Hobbesian state is a type of authority (juridical, public, coercive, and supreme) which emerges under conditions of anarchy ('state of nature'). A state-of-nature argument makes a difference because it justifies authority without appeal to moral obligation. The book shows that the closest analogue of a Hobbesian authority in international relations is Kant's confederation of free states, where states enjoy 'anarchical' (equal) freedom. At present, this crucial form of freedom is being threatened by economic processes of globalisation, and by the resurgence of private authority across state borders.
Book Synopsis Before Anarchy by : Theodore Christov
Download or read book Before Anarchy written by Theodore Christov and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-11 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did the 'Hobbesian state of nature' and the 'discourse of anarchy' - separated by three centuries - come to be seen as virtually synonymous? Before Anarchy offers a novel account of Hobbes's interpersonal and international state of nature and rejects two dominant views. In one, international relations is a warlike Hobbesian anarchy, and in the other, state sovereignty eradicates the state of nature. In combining the contextualist method in the history of political thought and the historiographical method in international relations theory, Before Anarchy traces Hobbes's analogy between natural men and sovereign states and its reception by Pufendorf, Rousseau and Vattel in showing their intellectual convergence with Hobbes. Far from defending a 'realist' international theory, the leading political thinkers of early modernity were precursors of the most enlightened liberal theory of international society today. By demolishing twentieth-century anachronisms, Before Anarchy bridges the divide between political theory, international relations and intellectual history.
Book Synopsis Thomas Hobbes's Conception of Peace by : Maximilian Jaede
Download or read book Thomas Hobbes's Conception of Peace written by Maximilian Jaede and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores Hobbes’s ideas about the internal pacification of states, the prospect of a peaceful international order, and the connections between civil and international peace. It questions the notion of a negative Hobbesian peace, which is based on the mere suppression of violence, and emphasises his positive vision of everlasting peace in a well-governed commonwealth. The book also highlights Hobbes’s ideas about international coexistence and cooperation, which he considers integral to good government. In examining Hobbes’s conception of peace, it provides a fresh perspective on his international political thought. The findings also have wider implications for the ways in which we think about Hobbes’s relationship to the realist and liberal traditions of international thought, and will appeal to students and scholars of political theory and international relations.
Book Synopsis The Hobbesian Theory of International Conflict by : Raino Malnes
Download or read book The Hobbesian Theory of International Conflict written by Raino Malnes and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1993 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes a theory of international conflict based on Thomas Hobbes' theory of social conflict. It examines in detail his premises, questioning their applicability to relations among states. Through this discussion, a new version of "political realism" emerges, more systematic and logically explicit than previous statements of realism. The Hobbesian theory of conflict is contrasted to works in the same tradition--from Thucydides' account of the Peloponnesian War to Kenneth Waltz's system-theory. It also explores other perspectives on international relations, like Kant's theory of the relationship between democracy and foreign policy. The work shows how the Hobbesian theory provides a basis for evaluating the realist ambition of constructing a general theory of international politics.

Book Synopsis International Political Theory after Hobbes by : R. Prokhovnik
Download or read book International Political Theory after Hobbes written by R. Prokhovnik and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2011-01-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of international political theory after Hobbes is a timely and lively focus through which to raise key questions about international politics, and to set up dialogues between historical political theory and contemporary theories of international relations about the legacy of Hobbes in international politics. The move by political theorists towards consideration of the international realm and the consequent blurring of the distinction between domestic and international politics over recent years has been marked. In the light of these changes, the role of Hobbes in the dominant realist theory of International Relations requires urgent re-examination. This book makes an important and distinctive contribution to the argument that international political theory is moving beyond the reading of Hobbes as a founding theorist of the modern state in an inter-state system perpetuated by orthodox International Relations. The volume brings together a set of internationally-respected researchers with an expertise on Hobbes’ views on international relations in the context of the history of political thought, Hobbesian realism, and on Hobbes and contemporary international political theory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Book Synopsis Hobbes Against Friendship by : Gabriella Slomp
Download or read book Hobbes Against Friendship written by Gabriella Slomp and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-03-31 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book Synopsis The Palgrave Handbook of International Political Theory by : Howard Williams
Download or read book The Palgrave Handbook of International Political Theory written by Howard Williams and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-11-02 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook provides an exploration of the field of International Political Theory (IPT), which in its broadest terms, examines the ways in which ideas about justice, sovereignty, and legitimacy shape international politics. It is a comprehensive resource for those interested in understanding the philosophical, political, and legal issues that arise from interactions between states, peoples, and global actors. The two volumes of the handbook cover a wide range of topics, from the foundations of international political thought to the latest debates in the field. They are designed to give readers a comprehensive overview of the key concepts and arguments within international political theory and provide an introduction to the main debates in the field. Volume 1 takes us from the ancient world to the formation of the modern state system as we lay the groundwork for a critical understanding of changes in, and challenges to, core ideas such as sovereignty, international law and territorial integrity. The contributions to this volume explore the European domination of the discipline providing insights into how it came to conceive the world in its own image. They also focus on non-Western perspectives and reactions to European hegemony.

Book Synopsis The Limits of Hobbesian Contractarianism by : Jody S. Kraus
Download or read book The Limits of Hobbesian Contractarianism written by Jody S. Kraus and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the most comprehensive, rigorous critique of contemporary Hobbesian contractarianism as expounded in the work of Jean Hampton, Gregory Kavka, and David Gauthier. Professor Kraus argues that the attempts by these three philosophers to use Hobbes to answer current political and moral questions fail. The reasons why they fail are related to fundamental problems intrinsic to Hobbesian contractarianism: first, the problem of collective action arising out of the tension in Hobbes' theory between individual and collective rationality; second, the classical problem of explaining the normative force of hypothetical action, a problem that can be traced to the conflicting strategies of hypothetical justification found in Rawls' and Hobbes' theories. Given the deep interest in Hobbesian contractarianism among philosophers, political theorists, game theorists in economics and political science, and legal theorists, this book is likely to attract wide attention and infuse new life into the contractarian debate.
