VISIONS OF POLITICS

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 charac-

ter of Hobbes’s political thought. An indispensable work in its own

right, this volume also serves as a demonstration of those method-

ological theories propounded in volume

. All of Professor Skinner’s work is characterised by philo-

sophical power, limpid clarity and elegance of exposition. These

essays, many of which are now recognised classics, provide a fasci-

nating and convenient digest of the development of his thought.
