Notes

1. I disagree with Masters that Hobbes and Rousseau held basically identical views on the subject of human nature. The interested reader can turn to my discussion inPublic Man, Private Woman: Women in Social and Political Thought (Princeton, 1981) for a more complete unpacking of the human nature question in Hobbes and Rousseau, respectively.Google Scholar

2. It is, after all, the five hundredth anniversary of the birth of Martin Luther so we may as well nail our theses to various walls. It is one effective way to get a rowdy debate going.Google Scholar
