Contract theory in historical context : essays on Grotius, Hobbes, and Locke Baumgold, Deborah 2010 Brill's studies in intellectual history ( Serie ) Leiden ; Boston : Brill 9789004184268 | BRILL9789004184268 Abstract

These essays carefully show that classic social-contract theory was an ancien regime genre. Far more than is commonly realized, the local horizon was built into Hobbes’s and Locke’s theories and the genre drew on the absolutism of Bodin and Grotius.
