<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Of Michael Oakeshott and his interest in Thomas Hobbes, Professor Paul Franco has written, "The themes Oakeshott stresses in his interpretation of Hobbes are . . . skepticism about the role of reason in politics, allegiance to the morality of individuality as opposed to any sort of collectivism, and the principle of a noninstrumental, nonpurposive mode of political association, namely, civil association." Of Hobbes's <em>Leviathan</em>, Oakeshott has written, "<em>Leviathan</em> is the greatest, perhaps the sole, masterpiece of political philosophy written in the English language." <strong><em>Hobbes on Civil Association</em></strong> consists of Oakeshott's four principal essays on Hobbes and on the nature of civil association as civil association pertains to ordered liberty. The essays are "Introduction to <em>Leviathan</em>" (1946); "The Moral Life in the Writings of Thomas Hobbes" (1960); "Dr. Leo Strauss on Hobbes" (1937); and, "<em>Leviathan</em>: A Myth" (1947). The foreword remarks the place of these essays within Oakeshott's entire corpus.</p> <p><strong>Michael Oakeshott</strong> (1901-1990) was Professor of Political Science at the London School of Economics and the author of many essays, among them those collected in <em>Rationalism in Politics and Other Essays</em> and <em>On History and Other Essays, </em> both now published by Liberty Fund.</p> <p><strong>Paul Franco</strong> is a Professor in the Department of Government at Bowdoin College.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>This new collection presents Michael Oakeshott's four principal essays on Hobbes and the nature of civil association as it pertains to ordered liberty.
