Abstract:
Presents a set of extended essays on a variety of aspects of the life and work of the philosopher Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679). Some have previously been published as journal articles, etc., but two-thirds of the material in this book is new. While each essay may be read independently of the others and in any order, there are two introductory essays (Chs. 1 and 2), which nonspecialists may prefer to read first. The topics covered include Hobbes's political philosophy, his theory of international relations, the development of his mechanistic world-view, his Biblical criticism, and the European reception of his thought.
