| Summary: | The article starts focusing on Hobbes' absolutism under the scope of the traditional doctrine of natural right. Then exposes the complex relation between Hobbes and democracy and his notion of political representation. After reconstructing some of Hobbes' basic objections to classical political thought, the text tries to show that the English philosopher works, with respect to Aristotle, with a relatively unaltered concept of nature. The major objective of the paper is to configure the State as a genuine product of the intellectual performance of the English political theoretician. |
