The modern conception of political philosophy and law -- Plato : a beginning -- Plato : a new beginning -- Aristotle -- Cicero -- Aquinas -- Pufendorf -- Kant -- Hobbes -- Locke -- The utilitarians -- Legal analysis -- Political philosophy.
Throughout much of the history of political philosophy, many of the great philosophers begin their work with an investigation of private law. Why is this? And why is the central focus of our modern concern, the state, examined so late in their works? This book suggests an answer to these and related questions. It reveals that there are two general ways of thinking about the legal and the political: the modern which sees all through the lens of the state, and the traditional which begins with individuals and with the normative relations that exist between them building only slowly towards the co.
