Skinner is chiefly interested in the intellectual history of early-modern
Europe, and within this area I specialise in two related fields.
One is the culture of the Renaissance, especially early Italian
art and the evolution of humanist moral and political thought.

the philosophy of Thomas Hobbes, on which I have published two
books and numerous articles. He is also interested in a number
of more purely philosophical issues. I have written on historical
explanation, on the nature of interpretation more generally, and
on several topics in contemporary political theory, in particular
the concept of political liberty and the character of the State.
