Perez Zagorin: Hobbes and the Law of Nature

Rationality, Markets, and Morals: RMM 1 (2010), 1 – 4

Abstract

Perez Zagorin died in 2009 and Hobbes and the Law of Nature, his last monograph, is a kind of legacy. It brings the expertise of one of the leading scholars on English early modern thought to bear on Thomas Hobbes, England’s most innovative philosopher of the era (as Zagorin argues). Hobbes and the Law of Nature is an essay not only on the law of nature but on many central concepts in Hobbes’s philosophy.
