Collingwood tweets on Harper’s Senate, etcetera:

[1] R.G. Collingwood, The New Leviathan, or, Man, Society, Civilization and Barbarism, Revised ed. by David Boucher (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 2005), p. 206.  Here the English philosopher-historian Collingwood (who first published his book in 1942, a year before his death) is clearly informed by Hobbes’s Leviathan.
