“…In part, this may have been due to the danger involved in adopting Hobbes wholesale. 51 But it also stemmed from genuine intellectual reservations. Both Isabel Rivers and Jon Parkin have highlighted important points on which Parker differed from Hobbes.…”

This article presents a new understanding of how the context of Restoration debates around toleration, magisterial authority and political obligation impinged upon Locke’s mature thought. It proposes that prominent Anglican clergymen, by utilising Hobbist ideas in their arguments for religious conformity, transformed the debate around toleration. In particular, Samuel Parker’s Discourse of Ecclesiastical Politie’s potent mix of Hobbism, theological moralism and Scholastic natural law led to important nonconformists, such as Owen and Ferguson, reshaping their arguments in response. They were forced to make an argument upon first principles as to precisely why Parker’s naturalistic account of ecclesiastical authority was inadequate to justify their own particular view of religious institutions. Crucially, the specific features of Parker’s argument, led to John Humfrey, a largely overlooked figure, developing a set of ideas that preconfigured Locke’s later thought. This article then highlights Locke’s creative engagement with the ideas of his time, by charting the changes to Locke’s ecclesiology and view of natural law from 1667-1674, alongside the similar conceptual shifts made by Humfrey.

A Pseudo Dichotomy: Hobbism and Kantianism in Political Philosophy

This article examines the nature of a common tendency in studies of the political philosophies of Hobbes and Kant to presume that a dichotomy exists between them. In order to investigate this tendency, the two prevailing approaches in current scholarship on Kant and Hobbes are explored, and the content of two ideologies on which these studies heavily rely, Hobbism and Kantianism, are revealed. In the final section, a discussion of Hobbes' and Kant's theories of international politics will be used to point to how this tendency functions and what consequences it has for the study of political philosophy.The article closes by drawing attention to the wider implications of this tendency when it is applied to studies of Western political thought.

“…Parkin is careful to acknowledge his debts to John Marshall and Samuel Mintz as well. 48 Taming the Leviathan's embedding of Hobbes in contemporary debates is balanced by an emphasis on the deliberate indeterminacy of Hobbes's thought, which could be used -and abused -by all sides, especially during periods of political crisis. At such times, Hobbes's account of the problems which arose outside of the state was variously too significant, too useful, and/or too dangerous to ignore.…”
