Zusatztext 'Boucher does not only put Collingwood's political and moral philosophy! as elaborated in The New Leviathan! together with Hobbe's! Locke's! and Rousseau's! but also with Rawls' and MacIntyre's... Boucher's exposition of Collingwood's political-philosophical position in The New Leviathan is extremely interesting and clarifying.'

He is also critical of thetendency within ethics to confound right and duty.The publication of additional manuscript material in this revised edition demonstrates in more detail how Collingwood was determined to show that right and duty occupy different levels of rational practical consciousness.

For this edition David Boucher has added valuable unpublished material from Collingwood's manuscripts....
