The historical context of Hobbes's political theory -- Examining theorthodoxy : Hobbes and royalism -- The political context : taking sides -- Hobbes's theory of rights : the textual argument -- Liberties and claims : rights and duties -- The full right to self preservation and sovereign duties -- Hobbes and theories of natural law and natural rights -- The natural rights tradition : with or without Hobbes? -- Hobbes'stheory of rights : a modern secular theory -- Current discussions of Hobbesian rights : the distorting lens of Hohfeld -- Conclusion : towards a Hobbesian theory of rights.

In this groundbreaking book, Curran seeks to reveal Hobbes's contribution to the theory of individual rights and to the history of the concept of individual rights. Beginning by examining Hobbes's pronouncements on rights in the context of the writings of his contemporaries - bothroyalist andparliamentarian - she goes on to discuss Hobbes's arguments for the universal inalienability of crucial rights to self-preservation and self-defence, which echo those of the parliamentarian Levellers.And yet, in the intervening centuries, Hobbes's political theory has come to be seen as lacking anysubstantive rights for subjects. Curran develops an argument that in Leviathan, Hobbes does describe genuine political rights for subjects and he provides for their protection by theduties of others.She also argues that the Hohfeldian analysis, that dominates current discussions of rights, has contributed to a distorted reading of Hobbesian rights. In asking what sort of theory of rights underlies Hobbes's descriptions, she argues that it is not a theory of natural rights, tied to the premisesof natural law, but is instead a modern, secular theory.
