 \nany charge of exaggeration.Some quotations from Mr.Figgis will,then,be used to introduce the discussion.He points out that the controversy regarding the divineright of kings belongs to a day when politics,by commonconsent,was a branch of theology,and goes on to say,\"Allmen demanded some form of divine authority for any theoryof government...Until the close of the seventeenthcentury,the atmosphere of the supporters of popular rightsis as theological as that of the upholders of the Divine Rightof Kings.\"2 And again,\"There is no more universal char-acteristic of the political thought of the seventeenth centurythan the notion of non-resistance","cbCainbamxQrT2fl","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainbamxQrT2fl","pdf",2120170,27,"English","# Purpose and historical context\n## The illusion of perspective in intellectual history\n## Hobbes and sovereignty as a central interpretive key\n## The central issue in Hobbes’s time","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the essay according to the text?\",\"answer\":\"The essay aims to place Hobbes’s political philosophy in its own historical context.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the author mean by the “illusion of perspective” in the history of thought?\",\"answer\":\"Earlier doctrines are treated as if they were moving toward the present, even though they had their own specific problems.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the theory of sovereignty in Hobbes make his politics easy to connect to later debates?\",\"answer\":\"Its central position enables translating Hobbes’s political philosophy into terms of the later conflict between individual freedom and public control.\"}]","THE MOTIVATION - OF HOBBES'S POLITICAL - PHILOSOPHY - 1918 | PDF",1790666992,42]
