Читать книгу Political Theory - Pete Woodcock - Страница 16

This chapter begins by examining the social contract theory of Thomas Hobbes and his near contemporary John Locke. Although they both ultimately say that all obligation to obey the state rests upon consent, the type of consent and the powers of the sovereign differ greatly between them. It will then examine some critiques of liberal social contract theory, namely those of Rousseau, Hume and Pateman.
