Discourses of Power: From Hobbes to Foucault
Wiley-Blackwell (1996)
Abstract
In this accessible yet provocative text Barry Hindess provides a new interpretation of concepts of power within Western social thought, from Hobbes' notion of "sovereign power" to Foucault's account of "government". This book will be welcomed as an important contemporary contribution to one of the key debates in social and political theory.Other Versions
