Abstract

This paper provides a study on the contribution made by the English playwright of the XVIXVII centuries William Shakespeare to political philosophy. The main aim of this study is to/nanalyze his play "Macbeth" by highlighting the political aspects found in the play which are/nrellevant for political theory of Shakespeare's time, Modern Era. The development of new/nworldviews and conceptions about social order of that time marked a turning point in political/nthought. In this study, the political elements discussed in "Macbeth" are compared with the/nideas of Machiavelli and Hobbes to show that although Shakespeare has never been/nconsidered as a political philosopher, his visions of society were innovative and often similar/nto the visions of the most illustrious thinkers of political theory
