Description:...

In this study of the origins of liberalism in political thought, Andrzej Rapaczynski examines the political theory of Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau. Convinced that the Aristotelian and medieval world views no longer provided an adequate framework for the ordering of political life, these three thinkers sought to reconstruct the philosophical foundations of politics.
