Conal Condren offers a radical reappraisal of the character of moral and political theory in early modern England through an exploration of pervasive and fundamental arguments about office. This focus on office brings into serious question much of what has been taken for granted in the study of early modern political and moral theory concerning, for example, the interplay of ideologies, the emergence of a public sphere, of liberalism, reason of state, de facto theory, and perhaps even political theory and moral agency as we know it.
