an introduction to political thought
Seven programmes with Brian Redhead
4: Hobbes and Locke Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) spent most of his life as a tutor and secretary in the household of the Cavendishes, Earls of Devonshire. He began to write philosophy in the late 16309 and is most famous for his Leviathan (1651) which probably has more to offer in 1984 than at any other time since it was written.
The deepest impression which John Locke (1632-
1704) has left upon modern political understanding does not derive from his political writings but from his Essay Concerning Human Understanding - the bible of the European Enlightenment. With BRIAN REDHEAD are Dr Richard Tuck of Jesus College, Cambridge and John Dunn of King's College, Cambridge. Producer
