Review # 1 was written on 2011-10-26 00:00:00 Lisa Smith Italian scholars are notorious for their rhetorical flourish and emphasis on style rather than succinct clarity. Bobbio is an exception whose tight, cogent prose brings an analytic rigor to his exegesis of Hobbes' political thought that draws out the various nuances in the Hobbesian system. Of particular note of this book is the final chapter where Bobbio draws upon Gierke to formulate Hobbes' philosophical theory of the corporation which provides a level of depth to the "partial societies" which populate the political landscape beneath the umbrella of the authoritative state.
