Description
Robert Filmer's patriarchalist writings offer valuable insights into seventeenth-century English ideas about family, society, and the state. Published in 1991, these works present Filmer's own theory of absolute monarchy and provide incisive critiques of democratic thinking.
The texts, which include Filmer's 'Patriarcha' and other writings, are edited from original manuscript and printed sources. An introduction provides historical and ideological context for understanding Filmer's ideas, which had a significant impact on the development of English attitudes towards politics and society.
