Here is your second paper topic. Please read all instructions carefully.
“’The entanglement of religion and politics is inescapable ….’ Using this statement as a point of departure, compare and contrast Hobbes and Tocqueville over their respective treatments of the relationship between ‘political society’ and ‘the holy city’”.
The essay is to be 2,200 words maximum (2,000 words minimum). As always, please keep within the word limit.
The essay should be 12-point font and double spaced. Check your work for grammatical and spelling mistakes. Always cite PROPERLY any source that is not your own work, with page numbers, at the place in the paper where you used it. Never plagiarize anything. Ever. Provide a bibliography at the end. As always.
The essay should have at last FOUR citations from Hobbes’s Leviathan, and at least FOUR citations from Tocqueville’s Democracy in America.Having said that, these are very large texts. By way of offering help, I would (strongly) advise you, when studying Hobbes, to focus on the following chapters of the Leviathan: Chapters 3, 6, 11-16, and 31. Pay special attention to chapters 12 and 31, as these chapters specifically address some of his ideas on religion.When studying Tocqueville, please keep as closely as possible to the readings I assigned for our class discussions.PLEASE ALSO REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE REQUIRED TO USE THE EDITIONS OF THE LEVIATHAN AND DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA THAT WE STUDIED IN CLASS:Hobbes, T., Leviathan, ed.
