      abstract = {This book explores why and how Thomas Hobbes the 17th  century founder of political science -- contributed to the  modern marginalisation of friendship, a concept that stood  in the foreground of ancient moral and political thought  and that is currently undergoing a revival. The study shows  that Hobbes did not question the occurrence of friendship;  rather, he rejected friendship as an explanatory and  normative principle of peace and cooperation. Hobbess  stance was influential because it captured the spirit of  modernity- its individualism, nominalism, practical  scepticism, and materialism. Hobbess legacy has a bearing  on contemporary debates about civic, international and  global friendship. Gabriella Slomp is Professor of  International Political Theory, University of St Andrews,  UK. Former editor of Hobbes Studies, she is the author of  Thomas Hobbes and the Political Philosophy of Glory (2000);  editor of Thomas Hobbes (2008); co-editor (with R.  Prokhovnik) of International Political Theory after Hobbes  (2011). .},
