Abstract:Historians of early modern "scientia civilis" focus on two main understandings of that concept: the juridical and the rhetorical. This article focuses on another way of thinking about civil science in the early modern period, the origins and development of which are in the Aristotelian commentary tradition. This article begins with political science in Aristotle then turns to the works of commentators from Albert the Great in the thirteenth century, to the Oxford philosopher John Case in the late sixteenth. It ends on ways that this history offers new perspectives on Hobbes's science of politics, and on the broader historiography.

近代欧洲早期“政治科学”的语言

摘要：早期现代“公民科学”的历史学家关注于对该概念的两个主要理解：司法和修辞。本文重点探讨近代早期公民科学的另一种思考方式，其起源和发展属于亚里士多德的评论传统。本文从亚里士多德的政治学开始，然后转向从 13 世纪阿尔伯特大帝到 16 世纪后期牛津哲学家约翰·凯斯的评论家的作品。它以这段历史为霍布斯的政治科学和更广泛的史学提供新视角的方式结束。
