In this new study, Christopher Holman demonstrates the extraordinary depth of that opposition, showing that many of the revisions Hobbes makes to his theory over time are explicable as responses to the worry that he might inadvertently legitimate democratic governance. Ultimately, Holman argues that there is democratic potential in the very diversity and universality of the human desire to participate in governance, a desire that Hobbesian theory cannot fully repress. - Gordon Hull, author of Hobbes and the Making of Modern Political Thought Author InformationChristopher Holman is Associate Professor in the School of Social Sciences at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.
