Two Liberal Trajectories of Civic Education: The Political and Educational Thought of Hobbes and Winstanley.
Snauwaert, Dale T.; Theobald, Paul
Journal of Educational Thought/Revue de la Pensee Educative, v28 n2 p179-97 Aug 1994
Compares the political and educational alternatives offered by Thomas Hobbes and Gerrard Winstanley. Sees Hobbes's educational approach, based on negative liberty and state sovereignty, in tension between demands of liberty and conformity. Considers Winstanley's educational approach devoted to independent civic judgment, premised upon positive liberty and a communitarian and democratic notion of sovereignty. (Contains 23 references.)
