This article provides background and analysis of this critical distinction by placing it in conversation with the works of Henry Parker and in the context of the English Civil War, especially as regards the discussion of prudence, interests and crisis. In so doing, three conclusions can be drawn. First, it becomes clear that for both Parker and Hobbes, counsel serves as a foundation to their arguments about the placement and function of sovereignty. Second, in grounding their arguments about sovereignty in the discourse of counsel, both authors -- intentionally or unintentionally -- undermine the previously critical discourse of counsel. Finally, we see that especially Hobbes's engagement with and overthrow of the discourse of counsel profoundly alters of the terms and focus of modern political debate, moving from a 'monarchy of counsel' to a discussion of political sovereignty. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Hobbes Studies is the property of Brill Academic Publishers and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
