»Thomas Hobbes and the Person of the State« What do we mean when we refer to the state? Is the state a concept political theorists still need to concern themselves with today? Quentin Skinner explores these questions in the second Carl Schmitt Lecture to elucidate a common misunderstanding. When we talk about states, we do not simply mean governments. Skinner analyses the first and to the present day most famous theory to make such a claim: Thomes Hobbes' concept of the state as a person, distinct from both rulers and ruled.
