Morality in the Philosophy of Thomas Hobbes: Cases in the Law of Nature
Lloyd, S. A. (University of Southern California)
In this book, S. A. Lloyd provides a radical interpretation of Hobbes' laws of nature, revealing them to be not egoistic precepts of personal prudence but rather moral instructions for obtaining the common good. Lloyd's reciprocity account of Hobbes' moral philosophy stands in contrast to both divine command and rational choice interpretations.
